Brent J. Shupe and Jcj Trucking, and Midwest Coast Transport D/b/a McT, Petitioners v. John Lingafelter, Kathleen…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court's refusal to give a negligent entrustment instruction was harmless error because the jury had already found no negligence by Shupe or MCT, and that the jury's zero‑damages finding was supported by the evidence. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Court of Appeals and affirmed the take‑nothing judgment.
