Rivero v. Blue Keel Funding L.L.C.

Although the petition's prayer does not specifically request relief against the appellant, the court concludes the pleading gives fair notice that the appellant was being sued in his individual capacity as a guarantor under the lease agreements. Moreover, any dispute over the sufficiency of the pleading to state a cause of action against the appellant based on his guaranty should have been raised by appellant by special exception.

All too often, attorneys resort to trusting that an incorrect decision will be rectified on appeal only to be met with the harsh rule of waiver.
