Texas Supreme Court

Unifund Ccr Partners, Petitioner v. Javier Villa, Respondent

October 23, 200953 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 57

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and held that the trial court abused its discretion in imposing Chapter 10 sanctions because there was no evidentiary support for the findings, and that the trial court retained plenary power and jurisdiction to impose such sanctions. Consequently, Villa receives no award for inconvenience and harassment.
