The Kroger Co., Petitioner v. Billy Elwood, Respondent
May 12, 200649 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 623
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that Kroger owed no duty to warn its courtesy clerk, Billy Elwood, about the danger of placing his hand in a vehicle doorjamb while loading groceries on a sloped parking lot.
