Whitson v. Goodbodys, Inc.
Texas Court of Appeals, 5th District (Dallas)
1Opinion of the Court
ROWE, Justice.
Appellant Gary Whitson sued appellee Goodbodys, Inc. for personal injuries which he sustained at Goodbodys’ place of business. The trial court granted summary judgment for Goodbodys based upon an exculpatory agreement executed by Whit-son. In his sole point of error, Whitson complains that the trial court erred in granting summary judgment because it failed to apply the express negligence doctrine to the agreement. For the reasons discussed below, we overrule Whitson’s point of error and affirm the trial court’s judgment.
Background
Whitson was injured on Goodbodys’s premises…
