OPINION

New Wave Technologies, Inc. (New Wave) appeals from a summary judgment ordering it take-nothing in a suit against Legacy Bank of Texas (Legacy) for conversion of two checks issued by United Services Automobile Association (USAA). New Wave raises three issues on appeal, whether the trial court erred in granting the summary judgment that Legacy did not convert the checks, under the Texas Business and Commerce Code § 3.420, (1) based upon a repealed statutory limitation of liability or affirmative defense, (2) when there was no endorsement by New Wave on either check, and (3) when neither payee signed its name exactly as drawn, as required by the instruction on the checks.

Maxim Solutions Group, Inc. (Maxim) and New Wave entered into a joint purchase agreement where New Wave would sell to Maxim, and Maxim would sell to USAA. On July 7, 2004, USAA ordered scanners and computer equipment from Maxim/New Wave. The two purchase orders were supposed to be paid directly to New Wave. However, USAA mailed the checks to Maxim.
