GNLV CORP. v. JACKSON

No. 10-87-014-CV.

736 S.W.2d 893 (1987)

GNLV CORP., a Nevada Corporation, Appellant, v. Gene JACKSON, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Texas, Waco.

Rehearing Denied September 17, 1987.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David A. Coggin, Burleson, for appellant.

Michael S. Griffin, Michael J. Rogers & Ben Hill Turner & Associates, P.C., Cleburne, for appellee.

OPINION

THOMAS, Justice.

The court permanently enjoined GNLV Corp., a Nevada corporation, from enforcing a Nevada judgment against Gene Jackson, a Texas resident, because the judgment would offend Texas public policy against enforcing a gambling debt. A state cannot deny full faith and credit to another state's judgment solely on the ground that it offends the public policy of the state where it is sought to be enforced. See Fauntleroy v. Lum,
