Milestone Operating, Inc. and Dstj, L.L.P., Petitioners v. Exxonmobil Corporation, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Milestone satisfied the first element of the Craddock test—its failure to answer was neither intentional nor the result of conscious indifference—and therefore reversed the Court of Appeals' denial of Milestone's motion for a new trial, remanding for consideration of the remaining elements.
