Western Investments, Inc. v. Urena
Texas Supreme Court
1Opinion of the CourtJustice O’Neill
In this case, we decide whether a tenant presented any evidence that the acts or omissions of an apartment complex, its owners, and its manager proximately caused a tenant-on-tenant sexual assault that occurred at the complex. The trial court granted summary judgment for the defendants on all claims, but the court of appeals reversed and remanded. 122 S.W.3d 249. We hold that the plaintiffs presented no evidence that the defendants’ acts or omissions proximately caused the plaintiffs’ injuries. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the court of appeals and render judgment for the defendants.
