Texas Supreme Court

Allen Chadwick Burbage, Petitioner and Cross-Respondent v. W. Kirk Burbage and Burbage Funeral Home, Respondents…

August 29, 201457 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 1303

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court's permanent injunction was an impermissible prior restraint and affirmed that part of the Court of Appeals' judgment. It reversed the Court of Appeals' affirmation of the compensatory and exemplary damage awards because no evidence supported the amounts. The Court also held that the appellant failed to preserve error regarding a qualified‑privilege jury‑charge, so that issue was not decided.
