June 17, 201659 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 1278
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that Chapter 95 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code applies to all negligence claims, does not protect a property owner's employee, and that the plaintiffs failed to present evidence creating a genuine issue of material fact, affirming summary judgment on premises‑liability claims, reversing it on non‑premises claims against Ineos, and remanding the employee claims. The Court also rejected the plaintiffs' harmless‑error argument.
