Hollingsworth v. King

Supreme Court of Texas
Oct 2, 1991
816 S.W.2d 340 (Tex. 1991)

Opinion

No. D-1362.

October 2, 1991.

Appeal from the Amarillo Court of Appeals, Seventh Judicial District, Hartley County, John T. Boyd, J.

John Smithee, Amarillo, for petitioners.

William S. Leach, Robert Kimball, Amarillo, for respondents.


George and May Hollingsworth sued Pete and Bonnie King for negligently failing to restrain a horse from wandering onto a public highway. The trial court granted summary judgment for the Kings, which the court of appeals reversed 810 S.W.2d 772. The Hollingsworths have nevertheless applied to this Court for writ of error. Their sole contention in this Court is that the court of appeals erred in holding that there is no common law duty to restrain livestock. We express no opinion on this contention and deny the application. In so doing, however, we should not be taken as approving any other part of the court of appeals' opinion.Copyright (c) West Group 1998 No claim to original U.S. Govt. works
