Lee v. Dykes

In her second issue, appellant contends there was no evidence of market value of the ring. For a number of reasons, including that appellee only testified regarding purchase price, the evidence presented was legally insufficient to establish market value at the time of conversion. Houston's 14th Court of Appeals, No. 14-08-00488-CV, 04-27-2010

OPINION

Pepper Lee appeals the portion of a final judgment awarding appellee, Leland Dykes, $13,000 for conversion damages. Lee contends the evidence is legally and factually insufficient to support the jury’s finding that Dykes sustained damages in this amount. Because we agree the evidence is legally insufficient to support the jury’s finding, we reverse and render with respect to the award of damages for conversion and affirm the remainder of the judgment.
