Johnson v. Highland Hills Drive Apartments

Supreme Court of Texas
Apr 12, 1978
568 S.W.2d 661 (Tex. 1978)

Opinion

No. B-6807.

April 12, 1978.

Appeal from the County Court at Law, No. 4, Dallas County, Robert E. Day, J.

Michael M. Daniel, Dallas, for petitioner.

Steven William Buholz, Dallas, for respondent.


The application for writ of error is refused with the notation, "NO REVERSIBLE ERROR." The Court of Civil Appeals held that there is no implied warranty of habitability in Texas, and, on that basis, affirmed in part. Tex.Civ.App., 552 S.W.2d 493. Our opinion in Kamarath v. Bennett, 568 S.W.2d 658 (Tex. 1978), has established such an implied warranty in this State under certain factual situations. However, the Court of Civil Appeals additionally held that even should a warranty of habitability be adopted in Texas, the facts of this case dealing with the provision of mail facilities would not constitute a breach of such warranty. We agree.
