Wells Fargo Bank, N.a., Petitioner v. Patrick O’brien Murphy A/k/a O’brien Murphy and Beverly Murphy, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that both parties pleaded for declaratory relief, that the nonrecourse status of the home‑equity loan does not bar a personal judgment for attorney's fees, and that the trial court's fee award was proper, thereby reversing the appellate court's reversal of the fee award and reinstating the trial court judgment in favor of Wells Fargo.
