Special exceptions to summary judgment

December 3, 2018

Under McConnell v. Southside ISD, 858 S.W.2d 337 (Tex. 1993), a party may specially except to a summary judgment motion that is unclear about its grounds. Lemus v. Cookscreek 255 LLC provides a detailed application of McConnell as to eight different claims in a premises liability case, and also reminds: “The excepting party must obtain a ruling on the special exception to preserve the issue for appeal.” No. 05-17-01085-CV (Nov. 30, 2018) (mem. op.)
