Dean Foods Co. v. Anderson

OPINION

JOHN T. BOYD, Senior Justice (Retired).

In this appeal, appellants Dean Foods Company d/b/a Bell Gandy’s, Inc. (Dean Foods) and the Texas Worker’s Compensation Commission (TWCC) challenge the trial court’s award of attorney’s fees to cross-appellant Debra Anderson (Anderson). In her appeal, Anderson challenges the amount of attorney’s fees awarded and specifically complains of the trial court’s refusal to consider a contingent fee contract in determining the amount of its award of attorney’s fees to her. We reverse the trial court’s judgment in part and render a corrected judgment.
