The Fifth Court reversed in Monticello Asset Management, Inc. v. Wells, a case about unfortunate contact between a power line and a flagpole during construction work: “The families in this case suffered horrible losses. But Texas law strictly proscribes the liability of premises owners and occupiers for hazards created by the work activity of an independent contractor’s employees over which they had no control.” No. 05-22-00709-CV (Jan. 23, 2024) (applying Coastal Marine Serv. of Tex. v. Lawrence, 988 S.W.2d 223 (Tex. 1999)). A dissent argued that the majority characterized the accident too narrowly.
