MISSOURI VALLEY, INC. v. PUTMAN

No. 9145.

604 S.W.2d 545 (1980)

MISSOURI VALLEY, INC., Appellant, v. Juanita Lucille PUTMAN et al., Appellees.

Court of Civil Appeals of Texas, Amarillo.

Rehearing Denied September 24, 1980.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Stokes, Carnahan & Fields, Thomas D. Farris, Richard E. Stokes, Jr., Amarillo, for appellant.

C. J. Humphrey, Amarillo, for appellees.


REYNOLDS, Chief Justice.

This appeal is from a judgment rendered in a wrongful death action decreeing recovery of exemplary damages upon jury findings of gross negligence. The determinative question is whether the evidential record supports the findings of gross negligence. We conclude that as a matter of law the evidence fails to show gross negligence as that term has been defined and limited by the Supreme Court. Reversed and rendered.
