Gloria Ann Fryar v. Nicholas Mees D/B/A Mees Auto Repair

Opinion

IN THE

TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

 

No. 10-04-00061-CV

Gloria Ann Fryar,

                                                                      Appellant

 v.

Nicholas Mees

d/b/a Mees Auto Repair,

                                                                      Appellee

From the 82nd District Court

Falls County, Texas

Trial Court No. 33,841

MEMORANDUM  Opinion

      This appeal concerns a suit for breach of warranty, unlawful repossession and commercially unreasonable sale, violations of the Texas Finance Code, and other causes of action in the sale of a used car.  See Tex. Fin. Code Ann. § 348.412 (Vernon 1998).  Fryar appeals the trial court’s granting of summary judgment for Mees.  We reverse.

      In Fryar’s first issue, she contends that the trial court erred in granting final summary judgment though Mees’s summary-judgment motion did not address all of Fryar’s causes of action.  Mees concedes that his motion did not address Fryar’s causes of action for unlawful repossession and commercially unreasonable sale or for Finance-Code violations.  The trial court erred in granting final summary judgment on all claims.  See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 200 (Tex. 2001).  We sustain Fryar’s first issue.

      Having sustained Fryar’s first issue, we reverse the summary judgment and remand the cause for further proceedings.
