Alexander Dubose Jefferson & Townsend LLP v. Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, L.p.

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a turnover order that merely deposits disputed funds into the court's registry is not a final, appealable judgment because it does not function as a mandatory injunction; consequently, the subsequent Release Order was the final judgment and ADJT timely appealed it. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for merits review.
