Karen Ann Gold, Petitioner v. Richard Stephen Gold, Jr., and Richard Stephen Gold, Sr., Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a restricted appeal is not a prerequisite to filing a bill of review and reversed the Court of Appeals, remanding for further proceedings. It clarified that failure to pursue a restricted appeal does not constitute negligence that bars a bill of review, and that the trial court erred in dismissing the bill on other grounds of alleged negligence and lack of diligence.
