Southwest Key Program, Inc. D/b/a Texas Key Program, Inc. and La Esperanza Home for Boys, Petitioners v. Carlos…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that the evidence was legally insufficient to establish that Southwest Key's failure to provide protective equipment was the proximate cause of Gil-Perez's knee injury. The Court affirmed that ordinary negligence, not a heightened sports‑injury standard, governs the case. A dissent argued that the majority improperly excluded evidence supporting causation and would have affirmed the appellate judgment.
