American Broadcasting Companies v. Gill
Texas Court of Appeals, 4th District (San Antonio)
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
Opinion by:
SARAH B. DUNCAN, Justice.
ABC appeals the denial of a summary judgment on the Gills’ defamation and non-defamation claims arising out of the news gathering process for, and the broadcast of, a Day One news program. We hold this court is statutorily authorized to exercise jurisdiction over all of the Gills’ claims, including the non-defamation claims ABC does not defend on free speech grounds, and ABC is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. We therefore reverse the trial court’s order in its entirety and render judgment in ABC’s favor.
