Reid Road Municipal Utility District No. 2, Petitioner v. Speedy Stop Food Stores, Ltd., Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that LaBeff’s affidavit was properly excluded because it did not satisfy the Property Owner Rule or Rule 701, and that Ambrose’s appraisal and testimony were admissible as adoptive admissions by the District, reversing the trial court’s summary‑judgment ruling and remanding for further proceedings. Justice WILLETT, concurring, joined by Justice LEHRMANN, noted the limited scope of the Property Owner Rule for limited partnerships.
