Gambrinus Co. v. Galveston Beverage, Ltd.

OPINION

PHYLIS J. SPEEDLIN, Justice.

The Gambrinus Company appeals the trial court’s final judgment granting summary judgment in favor of Galveston Beverage, Ltd., and awarding approximately $1.16 million in damages to Galveston Beverage, plus attorney’s fees. Because we conclude that Galveston Beverage’s suit is barred by limitations, we reverse the trial court’s judgment and remand the cause to the trial court with instructions to render judgment dismissing Galveston Beverage’s claim, and to award Gambrinus its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of court.
