DISSENTING OPINION ON REMAND
Before Justices Francis, Evans1, and Whitehill2
Dissenting Opinion by Justice Evans
I regret that I must respectfully dissent. I disagree with the majority’s standard of
appellate review used to evaluate the fourth issue regarding cover raised by TXU Portfolio
Management Company, L.P. n/k/a Luminant Energy Company, L.L.C. (TXUPM), so I arrive at a
different result using what I understand is the correct standard. Using the charge as submitted to
measure whether there was any evidence to submit the question and support the jury’s answer to
it, I conclude the evidence was legally sufficient to support submission of the question and the

jury’s answer that TXUPM covered by “purchasing or producing electricity as a substitute for
the electricity promised but not delivered under the Agreements.” For the reasons stated below, I
would affirm the take-nothing judgment of the district court on TXUPM’s breach of contract
claims against FPL Energy, LLC, FPL Energy Pecos Wind I, L.P., FPL Energy Pecos Wind II,
L.P., and Indian Mesa Wind Farm, L.P. (Wind Farms). I then reach the subsequent issue
regarding TXUPM’s draw down of $3.075 million from the Wind Farms’ letters of credit and
conclude the trial court did not err in granting declaratory relief that TXUPM must return the
money.

STANDARD OF REVIEW
I “begin by determining the appropriate standard of review, then move in turn to each
challenge.” Fin. Comm’n of Tex. v. Norwood, 418 S.W.3d 566, 584 (Tex. 2013).
TXUPM stated its fourth issue as the following:
ISSUE PRESENTED: Did the trial court err in: 1) submitting to the jury the
question of whether TXUPM’s undisputed continuous “balancing” of energy
supplies to energy demands constituted cover as a matter of law; 2) refusing to
disregard the jury’s incorrect answer to that legal question; and 3) voiding the
jury’s award of actual damages to TXUPM on the ground that TXUPM failed to
submit evidence of “cover” damages when, in fact, TXUPM did not cover as a
matter of law?
The Wind Farms proposed, the trial court submitted, and the jury answered the following
cover question:
QUESTION FIVE
Did TXU “cover” for the electricity that the Wind Farms failed to provide under
the Agreements?
“Cover” means purchasing or producing electricity as a substitute for the
electricity promised but not delivered under the Agreements.
Answer Yes or No:
Yes X No ______
–2–
TXUPM objected that no evidence supported the submission of Question 5 or the definition and
objected that the question incorrectly separated electricity from the RECs and should have
referenced annual quantities of renewable energy promised but not delivered under the
agreements. But TXUPM did not bring forward any complaint in its initial brief on appeal to the
form of the question or instruction.
A no-evidence or legal insufficiency issue is preserved in the trial court by any one of the
following methods: “(1) a motion for instructed verdict, (2) a motion for judgment
notwithstanding the verdict, (3) an objection to the submission of the issue to the jury, (4) a
motion to disregard the jury’s answer to a vital fact issue or (5) a motion for new trial.” Cecil v.
Smith, 804 S.W.2d 509, 510–11 (Tex. 1991) (citing Aero Energy, Inc. v. Circle C Drilling Co.,
699 S.W.2d 821, 822 (Tex. 1985)); see First Nat‘l Collection Bureau, Inc. v. Walker, 348
S.W.3d 329, 338 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2011, pet. denied); accord TEX. R. CIV. P. 301. So when
TXUPM objected at the charge conference that no evidence supported the submission of
Question 5 regarding cover, it preserved its legal insufficiency issue to the submission of and the
jury’s answer to the cover question.3 See Cecil, 804 S.W.2d at 510–11.
The starting point generally of a legal or factual sufficiency review is the charge and
instructions to the jury. Golden Eagle Archery, Inc. v. Jackson, 116 S.W.3d 757, 762 (Tex.
2003). This is necessary in order to “first have a clear understanding of the evidence that is
pertinent to [the appellate court’s] inquiry.” Id. When there is no objection to the form of a
charge brought forward as an issue on appeal, we should assume the charge is correct without
deciding that issue and evaluate the sufficiency of the evidence against the charge. See Akin,
Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, L.L.P. v. Nat’l Dev. & Research Corp., 299 S.W.3d 106, 112

TXUPM also preserved its legal insufficiency issue in its motion for judgment notwithstanding the jury’s
verdict to Question 5.

during charge conference but did not bring those challenges forward in appeal yet complained on
appeal regarding factual and legal sufficiency of the jury’s answer to the question, court would

evidence by the question in the charge), disapproved on other grounds by Ritchie v. Rupe, 443
S.W.3d 856 (Tex. 2014). Even where a party argues the submission of a question is not
supported by evidence or is precluded as a matter of law by certain evidence but that party does
not object to the form of the question submitted, we measure the legal sufficiency of the
evidence by the form of the question asked. See Shows v. Man Engines & Components, Inc., 364

(appellant objected to one question on sufficiency grounds but not to form of question so court
used charge to analyze sufficiency of evidence citing Osterberg). “Even if another legal theory
was argued to the jury and explained by the lawyers in argument, we are bound by the
instructions given to the jury and presume that the jury followed those instructions.” Seger v.
Yorkshire Ins. Co., Ltd., No. 13-0673, 2016 WL 3382223, at *12 (Tex. June 17, 2016) (no
objection to direct employee instruction; lawyers argued alter ego theory not in charge). We
–4–
measure the legal sufficiency by the form of question and instructions submitted to the jury even
where an appellant objected that the question as a whole was not in broad form and was a
comment on the weight of the evidence and objection to a different instruction in the question,
but did not object to the instruction at issue in the appeal. See Eagle Oil & Gas Co. v. TRO-X,
L.P., 416 S.W.3d 137, 148–49 (Tex. App.—Eastland 2013, pet. denied).
TXUPM does not present any argument why we should not use the charge and instead
use what it views as the correct law to evaluate the sufficiency of the evidence. In fact, TXUPM
does not argue for any standard for our review of its complaint that the trial court submitted the
cover question to the jury and the jury answered it “yes” thereby causing reversible error. It
appears from its briefing that TXUPM assumes a de novo standard of review. For that reason
alone, we should default to use the charge submitted to the jury for the legal standard until a
party adequately briefs with authorities why we should use a different standard. See EMC
Mortg. Corp. v. Jones, 252 S.W.3d 857, 869 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2008, no pet.) (evaluating
sufficiency of the evidence based on law stated in charge reasoning, “Although EMC’s
sufficiency argument is based on this [legally correct] standard, EMC offers no explanation as to
why we should measure sufficiency based upon the correct legal standard rather than by the
charge that the jury was actually given.”).
In its original brief on appeal, TXUPM did not challenge the form of Question 5 or the
definition of cover, but argued its view of the correct law directly from sections 2.712 and 2.713
of the Uniform Commercial Code and opinions interpreting those provisions. In its brief on
remand TXUPM argued the definition of cover in the charge “failed to instruct the jury of the
crucial requirement that cover occur ‘after’ breach.” Generally, a new issue may not be raised
for the first time after the opening brief. See, e.g., TEX. R. APP. P. 33.1(i) (appellant’s brief must
include “a clear and concise argument for the contentions made, with appropriate citations to
–5–
authorities and to the record”); 38.3 (reply brief to address “any matter in the appellee’s brief”);
Stull v. LaPlant, 411 S.W.3d 129, 136 n.3 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2013, no pet.). For the reasons
stated above, the Wind Farms urged us not to consider TXUPM’s complaint about the definition
of cover being incorrect made for the first time in its brief on remand. I conclude the Wind
Farms are correct because TXUPM does not complain on appeal about error in the form of the
definition of “cover” in Question 5 or argue for a standard of review different from the charge as
submitted.4 See Boehringer, 404 S.W.3d at 27 (legal sufficiency evaluated by charge as
submitted where objection to form of question not brought forward on appeal); EMC Mortg.
Corp., 252 S.W.3d at 869 (where appellant did not argue for standard of review different than
charge as submitted, charge was standard for legal sufficiency review); see also Eagle Oil & Gas
Co., 416 S.W.3d at 148–49.
I, therefore, would follow the supreme court’s and our precedent by beginning our
analysis of legal or factual sufficiency with the charge as submitted unless a party has presented
argument why we should use a different standard. See Golden Eagle Archery, 116 S.W.3d at
762; EMC Mortg., 252 S.W.3d at 869. For these reasons, I conclude the correct analysis in this
case is to evaluate the legal sufficiency of the evidence for the submission of, and to support the
jury’s answer to, Question 5 using the question and instruction that were submitted in the charge.
I begin my analysis there using the traditional standards for evaluating the legal sufficiency of
the evidence.5

As noted above, TXUPM objected at the charge conference that the form of Question 5 incorrectly separated
electricity from the RECs and should have referenced annual quantities of renewable energy promised but not
delivered under the Agreements. This does not comport with TXUPM’s legal insufficiency argument on appeal
which, as TXUPM noted in its brief on remand, relates to the definition of cover not including “after breach.” I do
not base my dissent on this incongruity. But see Eagle Oil & Gas, 416 S.W.3d at 148–49 (charge as submitted used
to evaluate legal insufficiency issue on appeal where objections to form of question in trial court were unrelated to
legal insufficiency argument on appeal).

We conduct a legal sufficiency review by considering all the evidence before the jury, crediting evidence in
support of the verdict if reasonable jurors could, and disregarding evidence contrary to the verdict unless reasonable

II.
ANALYSIS OF COVER
“‘Cover’ means purchasing or producing electricity as a substitute
for the electricity promised but not delivered under the Agreements.”
TXUPM first argues section 4.04 of each contract with the Wind Farms requires an
annual reconciliation of annual minimum quantities of electricity and RECs and, therefore, the
Wind Farms could not and did not breach the agreements until each annual reconciliation
occurred. The Wind Farms argue one of the problems with TXUPM’s argument is it assumes
the annual reconciliation included an annual minimum electricity requirement in conflict with the
supreme court’s opinion. The supreme court carefully analyzed TXUPM’s view that the annual
reconciliation involved both electricity and RECs and rejected that position. FPL Energy, LLC,
426 S.W.3d at 67–69. Section 4.04 refers only to RECs, does not include electricity, Net Energy
(a defined term including both electricity and RECs), or any other reference to electricity. For
example, section 4.04(a) announces, “At the end of each calendar year, . . . the amount of RECs
produced in that year is compared to the Annual Quantity.” Sections 4.04(b) and (c) deal with
jurors could not. See City of Keller v. Wilson, 168 S.W.3d 802, 823, 827 (Tex. 2005). We consider all the evidence
in the light most favorable to the judgment indulging every reasonable inference in favor of the judgment. See St.
Joseph Hosp. v. Wolff, 94 S.W.3d 513, 520 (Tex. 2003). “On an issue where the opposing party bears the burden of
proof, we sustain a legal-sufficiency challenge to an adverse finding if our review of the evidence demonstrates a
complete absence of a vital fact, or if the evidence offered is no more than a scintilla.” Burbage v. Burbage, 447
S.W.3d 249, 259 (Tex. 2014) (citing Waste Mgmt. of Tex., Inc. v. Tex. Disposal Sys. Landfill, Inc., 434 S.W.3d 142,
156 (Tex. 2014)). Anything more than a scintilla of evidence is legally sufficient to support the jury’s finding. See
Formosa Plastics Corp. USA v. Presidio Eng’rs & Contractors, Inc., 960 S.W.2d 41, 48 (Tex. 1998). When the
evidence offered to prove a vital fact is so weak as to do no more than create a mere surmise or suspicion of its
existence, the evidence is no more than a scintilla and, in legal effect, is no evidence. Kindred v. Con/Chem., Inc.,
650 S.W.2d 61, 63 (Tex. 1983). When there is no objection to the form of a charge submission, we measure the
legal and factual sufficiency of the evidence against the jury charge as given. See Wolff, 94 S.W.3d at 530 (citing
Osterberg, 12 S.W.3d at 55 (“it is the court's charge, not some other unidentified law, that measures the sufficiency
of the evidence when the opposing party fails to object to the charge”)).
In conducting our review of the legal sufficiency of the evidence, we are mindful that the jury, as fact finder,
was the sole judge of the credibility of the witnesses and the weight to be given their testimony. City of Keller, 168
S.W.3d at 819; Hinkle v. Hinkle, 223 S.W.3d 773, 782 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2007, no pet.). “[Jurors] may choose to
believe one witness and disbelieve another. Reviewing courts cannot impose their own opinions to the contrary.”

the amount of RECs exceeding or being less than the Annual Quantity. Sections 4.04(d), (e), and
(f) make provision for how the parties would deal with the Wind Farms’ deficient delivery of
RECs. In making its determination, the supreme court rejected TXUPM’s position that in the
contracts “the parties simply use RECs as a counting mechanism for both” RECs and electricity.
Id. The supreme court determined that section 4.04 “deals only with RECs, and not electricity.”
Id. at 67. Because the annual reconciliation provisions of the contracts do not involve electricity
deficiencies, I agree with the Wind Farms that the annual reconciliation contractual provisions do
not provide support for TXUPM’s argument that there is legally insufficient evidence to support
the jury’s verdict that TXUPM covered the electricity deficiencies of the Wind Farms. This case
was tried and submitted to the jury by a charge that separated electricity from RECs and limited
the issue of cover to electricity deficiencies in the definition of cover: “‘Cover’ means
purchasing or producing electricity as a substitute for the electricity promised but not delivered
under the agreements.” (Emphasis added). The supreme court’s analysis of the contracts
indicates that the trial court was correct to approach electricity separately from RECs.
TXUPM’s other argument is it could not cover the Wind Farms’ breach of annual
minimum electricity requirements in the contracts because it would have had to cover during
each year before breach of the Agreements occurred. In support, TXUPM argues the Wind
Farms could not breach during any given year an annual minimum electricity requirement until
the close of that year, so TXUPM’s real-time balancing of electricity could not occur after the
Wind Farms’ breach—as required by section 2.712(a)—and still occur within the year. First,
TXUPM does not cite any cases from any jurisdiction making this conclusion based on an annual
quantity requirement in a contract. Second, TXUPM did not bring forward on appeal any issue
that the trial court erred by omitting “after breach” or should have referenced annual quantities of
renewable energy promised but not delivered under the agreements in the definition of cover.
–8–
Thus, we are bound by the definition of cover in the charge: “‘Cover’ means purchasing or
producing electricity as a substitute for the electricity promised but not delivered under the
Agreements.”6
The Agreements to which the cover definition directed the jury were three contracts that
were the same in most respects relevant to the issues on appeal. They required in section 4.01,
each wind farm “shall sell and deliver, and [TXUPM] shall purchase and accept, all of the RECs
and Net Energy produced by” two of the wind farms and 38% of the RECs and Net Energy
produced by the third wind farm. (Net Energy was, essentially, the amount of electricity the
Wind Farms delivered to the electric grid). The contracts stated in section 2.01 the “anticipated
net average annual generation” was 250,000 megawatt-hours (“MWh”) for two of the Wind
Farms and 300,000 MWh for the third wind farm. TXUPM was not only obligated to accept
delivery of 100% or 38%, respectively, of the Net Energy, but according to section 4.02 of each
contract TXUPM was to pay the Full Price for the first 105% of the “Annual Quantity” and 50%
of the Full Price for amounts in excess of that. The “Annual Quantity” was defined as 250,000
MWh for two of the Wind Farms and 105,000 to 115,000 MWh for the third wind farm. There
was no dispute at trial that the Wind Farms never delivered the Annual Quantity to TXUPM, so
the price never dropped by 50%.
Section 3.01(b) of the contracts required the Wind Farms to deliver a daily plan for the
next day by 9:00 a.m., including day ahead generation projections, and inform TXUPM of other
circumstances that might affect the Wind Farms’ ability to generate electricity, such as
notifications if five percent or more of the generating units were unavailable. Section 3.02 of the
contracts required the Wind Farms to attend quarterly meetings with TXUPM to discuss, among
6
For this reason, I do not decide this issue under sections 2.712(a) and 2.713(a) of the Uniform Commercial
Code.
–9–
other things, the production of the Wind Farms and “the outlook for the current compliance
period production of RECs.” Manu Asthana, TXUPM’s vice president, testified that when
TXUPM received the generation forecasts from the Wind Farms, it would put that into their day
ahead resource plan to ERCOT. Any deviation from the levels forecasted and amended down by
ERCOT, “which happens, you know, frequently, because the wind changes all the time, we will
actually spend money to have resources on line to absorb that instantaneous realtime variation.”
Asthana further stated, “as the wind fluctuated, we would actually step in with our own resources
sometimes to make up the slack, if you will, at no charge to FPL.”
In addition, because electricity cannot be stored, any electricity delivered by the Wind
Farms had to be immediately transmitted to TXUPM’s ultimate destinations—its customers.
Likewise, any failure of the Wind Farms to deliver the electricity promised during the year
necessarily had to be replaced during that year so TXUPM could meet its own electricity
obligations. When the atmospheric conditions or other circumstances, such as ERCOT
curtailments, prevented the Wind Farms from meeting their daily forecasts, TXUPM’s real-time
balancing resulted in TXUPM’s replacing the electricity that the Wind Farms failed to deliver.
When the Wind Farms were unable to deliver their projected generation, the evidence is
undisputed that TXUPM always generated or acquired sufficient electricity to meet its needs and
would make up for any shortfall by obtaining substitute power from its own sources. Based on
the evidence, I conclude there was legally sufficient evidence to support the submission of the
cover question and the jury’s answer effectively that TXUPM’s real-time balancing was
TXUPM’s way of “purchasing or producing electricity as a substitute for the electricity promised
but not delivered under the Agreements,” as cover was defined in the jury charge.
–10–
Cover is often a factual issue a jury must decide.7 Based on this record, there is legally
sufficient evidence to support the trial court’s submission of Question 5 regarding cover and the
jury’s finding that TXUPM covered by “purchasing or producing electricity as a substitute for
the electricity promised but not delivered under the Agreements.”
The proper measure of damages with respect to the undelivered electricity was the
difference between TXUPM’s cost to generate or purchase the substitute electricity and the
contract price. See TEX. BUS. & COM. CODE ANN. § 2.712(b). The only damage models
TXUPM offered at trial, however, were based on a market value of the combined undelivered
energy and RECs after it calculated the cost of the Wind Farms’ breach after the end of the
contract year. As to RECs, TXUPM did not put on any evidence that it had been penalized by
the PUC for the RECs the Wind Farms failed to deliver or the market price of the undelivered
RECs (TXUPM instead relied on the liquidated damages clause). Because TXUPM pleaded and
proved an incorrect measure of damages and submitted no evidence as to the proper measure of
damages for the undelivered RECs, the trial court was correct in rendering a take-nothing
judgment on TXUPM’s breach of contract claim.8 I, therefore, would resolve TXUPM’s fourth
issue against TXUPM. Resolution of the cover issue makes it unnecessary to address the issue
regarding the adequacy of TXUPM’s evidence of combined electricity and RECs market price
damages.9

See Manon v. Tejas Toyota, Inc., 162 S.W.3d 743, 748 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2005, no pet.) (cover
including good faith in purchasing substitute is a question of fact for the jury); Mueller v. McGill, 870 S.W.2d 673,
676 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1994, writ denied) (same); Kiser v. Lemco Indus., Inc., 536 S.W.2d 585, 590
(Tex. Civ. App.—Amarillo 1976, no writ) (cover is factual question for fact finder); see also Amer. Carpet Mills,
Etc. v. Gunny Corp., 649 F.2d 1056, 1060 (5th Cir. 1981) (same under Georgia law); Thorstenson v. Mobridge Iron
Works Co., 208 N.W.2d 715, 717 (S.D. 1973) (same under South Dakota law).

Notably, TXUPM does not argue that the trial court’s take-nothing judgment was improper if the cover issue
was properly submitted to the jury.
9
These arguments were in response to the third issue in the Wind Farms’ cross-appeal original briefing arguing
that the jury award was based on improper evidence of market-value damages.

III.
DECLARATORY JUDGMENT
TXUPM contends that the trial court erred in declaring TXUPM was required to return
the $3.075 million it had accessed from the letters of credit securing the Wind Farms’ contractual
obligations.10 TXUPM’s principal appellate argument to support this issue is derivative of
TXUPM’s argument for reversal of the take-nothing judgment based on market price versus cost
of cover. Because I resolved TXUPM’s damages argument against it, that no longer supports
reversal of the declaratory judgment. Although there are a few additional statements in its briefs,
TXUPM did not address why the trial court erred in ordering return of the $3.075 million if the
trial court’s judgment was affirmed regarding TXUPM’s fourth issue.11 See TEX. R. APP. P.
38.1(i). In my view, therefore, no further argument is presented to address on the merits
regarding the declaratory judgment. Accordingly, I would deny TXUPM’s declaratory judgment
argument.
IV.
CONCLUSION
Based on what I view as the correct standard of review, I conclude the issue of whether
TXUPM covered by “purchasing or producing electricity as a substitute for the electricity
promised but not delivered under the Agreements” was properly submitted to the jury and the
jury’s affirmative answer was supported by legally sufficient evidence in light of the charge as
submitted. I further conclude that in light of the jury’s finding and in the absence of any
evidence as to TXUPM’s cost to cover the electricity deficiencies or evidence of cost to cover or

This is TXUPM’s third issue in its supplemental brief and its fifth issue in its original briefing. Under issue
three in its supplemental brief, TXUPM also argues its entitlement to attorney’s fees as the prevailing party pursuant
to section 38.001(8) of the civil practice and remedies code. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 38.001(8)
(West 2015). Because resolution of the cover issue results in the affirmance of the take-nothing judgment on
TXUPM’s breach of contract claims, in my opinion it is unnecessary to address attorney’s fees.
11
TXUPM argues the Wind Farms had no live cause of action to support such a declaration. In its one
paragraph argument in its original appellate brief on this issue and two paragraph supplemental briefing for this
issue, TXUPM did not cite the record or any legal authority.

market price of the RECs or penalty imposed by the PUC, the trial court did not err in rendering
judgment that TXUPM take nothing on its breach of contract claims against the Wind Farms.
I would affirm that portion of the trial court’s judgment addressing TXUPM’s damages.
Specifically, I would affirm the judgment that TXUPM take nothing on its breach of contract
claims against the Winds Farms and the declaration in the judgment that TXUPM is obligated to
return the full amount of the security it accessed from the Wind Farms’ letters of credit. Because
the majority uses a different standard of review resulting in different conclusions, I dissent.
