Creditwatch, Inc. & Harold E. “skip” Quant, Petitioners v. Denise Jackson, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and held that Denise Jackson could not maintain an intentional infliction of emotional distress claim because the alleged conduct was not extreme and outrageous and because the tort is a gap‑filler that cannot be used when other statutory remedies are available. The Court affirmed the trial court’s summary‑judgment disposition and entered judgment for the defendants.
