Ppg Industries, Inc., Petitioner v. Jmb/houston Centers Partners Limited Partnership, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that DTPA claims are not assignable because such assignments defeat the Act’s purpose of encouraging individual consumer litigation, reversed the appellate judgment and remanded for a new trial on the twenty‑year warranty claim alone, and affirmed that the five‑year warranty claim is barred by the statute of limitations.
