Baylor University, Petitioner v. Tom Sonnichsen, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in sustaining a special exception dismissing the breach of contract claim and that the fraud claim fails because the sought damages are benefit‑of‑the‑bargain damages barred by the statute of frauds. Accordingly, the court affirmed summary judgment for Baylor.
