Hey, what about those fraudulent-inducement damages?

The able David Gunn has written a provocative article in the Baylor Law Review about damages under Texas law for fraudulent inducement claims. While that topic has been the subject of considerable and thoughtful attention by the Texas Supreme Court in recent years, his article points out that those opinions don’t fully mesh with the supreme court’s emphasis on horizontal stare decisis / orderliness — and much older cases from that court on that topic in years past.

This question is particularly relevant as the new business courts and 15th Court of Appeals work to identify their controlling precedent, a process that I’ve analyzed in this short article.
