TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
JUDGMENT RENDERED DECEMBER 17, 2014
NO. 03-13-00082-CV
George Thurman Lauret, Appellant
v.
Meritage Homes of Texas, LLC d/b/a Monterey Homes, Appellee
APPEAL FROM 345TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
BEFORE CHIEF JUSTICE JONES, JUSTICES PEMBERTON AND FIELD
REVERSED AND REMANDED ON REHEARING -- OPINION BY JUSTICE FIELD
This is an appeal from the judgment signed by the trial court on January 30, 2013. Having
reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments, the Court holds that there was reversible error in
the trial court’s judgment. Therefore the Court withdraws its opinion and judgment from
October 10, 2014; reverses the trial court’s judgment; and remands the case to the trial court to
(1) determine whether the parties can, with an appropriate offset, be restored to the status quo
ante and (2) if so, restore the parties to their original position, subject to appellee’s right to plead
and prove an offset. Appellee shall pay all costs relating to this appeal, both in this Court and the
court below.
