Too Terse.

The appellee in Hartsfield v. Hartsfield Cabinet LLC relied on a detailed list of line-items to obtain summary judgment on damages. The Fifth Court was left wanting:

Here, there is no specificity or supporting documentation. The affiant fails to specify the owner of the tools, files, and computers, which files and tools were allegedly stolen and given away, or the software that was allegedly destroyed or made unstable on the laptops that were allegedly taken and returned. Although the affiant avers that he consulted with an unidentified forensic expert who concluded that software had been destroyed, the expert is not identified, nor is the cost of replacing and re-programming the software explained or substantiated.
