Supreme Court of Texas

In a suit brought claiming breach of contract, fraud, and negligence, based on allegations that defendants' failure to fund a loan caused plaintiff financial loss, a court of appeals' decision reversing a no-evidence summary judgment for the lender is reversed as there was no evidence that defendant-mortgage broker had apparent authority either to negotiate the terms of the loan or otherwise commit the lender.
