Lisa and Roger French v. Marco French, G.T. Morton, and Judy McCollum

OPINION

REX D. DAVIS, Justice.

Lisa French was arrested for felony theft but was later “no-billed” by a grand jury. She and her husband Roger then sued Judy McCollum, G.T. Morton, and Marco French for malicious prosecution and defamation. 1 The trial court granted the defendants’ (Appellees’) traditional and no-evidence joint motion for summary judgment. The Frenches appeal, asserting in their sole issue that the trial court erred in granting summary judgment. We review a trial court’s summary judgment de novo. Provident Life & Accident Ins. Co. v. Knott, 128 S.W.3d 211, 215 (Tex.2003).
