Thomas E. BRENTS and Doris H. Brents, Petitioners, v. HAYNES & BOONE, William Ratliff, III, and G. Dennis Sheehan, Respondents.

Supreme Court of Texas.

April 26, 2001.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mark Jackson Carroll, Dallas, for Petitioners.

PER CURIAM.

The issue in this legal-malpractice case is whether the rule we announced in Hughes v. Mahaney & Higgins, 821 S.W.2d 154 (Tex.1991), tolled the statute of limitations on the plaintiffs' claims. The court of appeals held that it did not, and affirmed a summary judgment for the defendant on limitations grounds. 10 S.W.3d 772.
