Grant Prideco, Inc. v. Empeiria Conner L.L.C.

OPINION

Martha Hill Jamison, Justice

The parties to this appeal dispute the meaning of a contractual indemnity provision. The trial judge granted summary judgment agreeing with appellees’ interpretation. We agree with appellants’ interpretation and, therefore, reverse. Concluding, however, that appellants have not established as a matter of law that they are entitled to indemnification, we remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
