Chon TRI A/K/A Hien Dinh Nguyen and Theravada Buddhist Corporation, Petitioners v. J.T.T. and M.T., Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court was not required to give effect to the jury's civil conspiracy findings because the omitted elements of the conspiracy were not proven, and it affirmed the trial court's negligence judgment that imposed liability on the corporation but not on the individual clergy member. The Court also affirmed that no individual liability should be imposed on Chon Tri absent a separate duty, reversing the Court of Appeals.
