How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding record notice does not preclude fraud claim under Deceptive Trade Practices Act
• “Texas courts have never held that a purchaser’s failure to search the deed records would bar his fraud action against the seller”
• constructive notice under the real property statutes is not a defense to a buyer’s action asserting DTPA violations and fraud
• “We conclude instead that the purpose of recording statutes is to protect ‘intending purchasers and encumbrancers . . . against the evils of secret grants and secret liens . . . .’”
• multiple claims against multiple defendants; some claims only available against some defendants; but all claims based on fraud and misrepresentation and all resulted in one injury to plaintiff – the destruction of her home – one satisfaction rule applied
• duty to disclose demolition order
