Jesse C. Ingram, Ph.d. and Behavioral Psychology Clinic, P.c., Petitioners v. Louis Deere, D.o. and Hillvale…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the evidence was legally insufficient to establish that Jesse Ingram and Louis Deere formed a partnership under the Texas Revised Partnership Act, and therefore reversed the Court of Appeals and reinstated the trial court's take‑nothing judgment. The Court applied a totality‑of‑the‑circumstances analysis to each of the five statutory factors and found none were satisfied. Justice Johnson filed a concurring opinion, agreeing with the majority’s holding but disputing the majority’s assessment of the intent factor and the ownership‑percentage issue.
