Billington v. Lamberson

OPINION

DON H. REAVIS, Justice.

Appellant Jeanette Billington 1 challenges the trial court’s order granting summary judgment that she take nothing against appellee William Mark Lamberson on her common law cause of action seeking damages for mental anguish she alleges she sustained as a bystander to an accident caused by Lamberson in which her grandmother sustained fatal injuries. Presenting a sole issue, 2 Billington contends that under the common law of Texas, a grandchild should be allowed to recover for mental anguish suffered as a bystander to the death of a grandparent. We affirm.
