Ctl/thompson Texas, LLC, Petitioner v. Starwood Homeowner’s Association, Inc., Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a plaintiff’s nonsuit does not moot a defendant’s appeal of a trial court’s denial of a motion for dismissal with prejudice under §150.002(e). Accordingly, it reversed the Court of Appeals’ dismissal of the interlocutory appeal and remanded for further consideration. The Court explained that such dismissal is a sanction that survives nonsuit because its purpose is to deter meritless claims.
