Description
Following a jury verdict in favor of McGuire, Craddock, Strother & Hale, P.C. (McGuire, Craddock) in its lawsuit to collect attorneys fees, the trial court entered a judgment notwithstanding the verdict. In three issues, McGuire, Craddock contends: (1) the trial court erred in granting judgment notwithstanding the verdict because there is legally sufficient evidence to support the jurys finding that it did not breach any fiduciary duty; (2) even if Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (TRI) and RT Realty, L.P. established that McGuire, Craddock breached its fiduciary duty, it could still recover on its claims; and (3) the trial court erred in ordering forfeiture of all of McGuire, Craddocks unpaid fees and expenses. In three cross-points, RT Realty and TRI contend there is no evidence to support the jurys findings of breach of contract, damages, and fraud. Because we conclude the evidence is legally sufficient to support the jurys finding on breach of contract and damages, we overrule the cross-points. We sustain McGuire, Craddocks first issue, reverse the trial courts judgment, render judgment on the jury verdict, and remand this cause to the trial court to address attorneys fees incurred in prosecuting the lawsuit and the appeal.
