Texas Court Reinstates Claims Against Window Subcontractor

DALLAS - A Texas appellate court has reinstated contract, warranty and negligence claims brought against a window subcontractor on an office building project, but found no evidence to reverse summary judgment on similar claims against the project's siding contractor. Paragon General Contractors Inc. v. Larco Construction Inc., et al., No. 05-06-00209-CV (Texas Ct. App., 5th Dist.).

In a June 26 opinion, the 5th District Court of Appeals also affirmed the lower court's finding that the general contractor lost its right to pursue a contribution claim against its subcontractors when it settled with the building's owners over leaks and mold damage.
