David and Lynette Miller, Petitioners v. Barry Keyser, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a corporate sales agent can be personally liable under the Deceptive Trade Practices Consumer Protection Act for false representations he makes within the scope of his employment, and rejected the notion that Section 17.49 creates a broad employee exemption. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Court of Appeals judgment and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
