Texas Supreme Court

Katy Venture, Ltd. and Katy Management, L.L.C., Petitioners v. Cremona Bistro Corp., Respondent

July 27, 2015469 S.W.3d 160

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded the case, holding that the trial court erred in granting summary judgment to Cremona Bistro Corp. because the petitioners raised a genuine issue of material fact regarding the certification of their last known mailing address under Rule 239a. The Court found that the petitioners were not negligent in failing to receive notice of the default judgment and that the respondent may have knowingly provided an outdated address.
