Supreme Court to Weigh In On Duty of Holder of Executive Rights

Last week the Texas Supreme Court agreed to hear Texas Outfitters Limited v. Carolyn Grace Nicholson, No. 17-059, from the San Antonio Court of Appeals. I wrote about this case when the Court of Appeals decided it last year.  Interesting facts. The issue is whether the holder of executive rights can be liable for refusing to lease.  The courts below said yes and awarded the plaintiff $867,000 in lost bonus money.  Briefs on the merits have already been filed. No date yet for oral argument. The Court of Appeals’ opinion may be found here.
