Description
The Woodlands Land Development Company, L.P. ("Woodlands") appeals a judgment in favor of Jim and Laura Jenkins ("Jenkins" or "Appellees") for $103,000 in compensatory damages, $35,000 in attorney's fees, and $1,282,500 in exemplary damages. Appellees sued Woodlands, Westbrook Building Company, Inc. ("Westbrook"), and other defendants *fn1 for property damage and mental anguish in connection with their purchase of a new home. Among Appellees' theories of recovery were statutory fraud, common law fraud, breach of earnest money contract, breach of covenant, and violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA). The jury found in favor of the Appellees on all of these theories, except breach of the earnest money contract. The jury determined Westbrook and Woodlands were each 45% responsible for the damages and Appellees were 10% responsible. We affirm in part, reform in part, and reverse and render in part.
