Mealey's (June 12, 2020, 9:43 AM EDT) -- SAN ANTONIO — A Texas appellate panel on June 3 partially overturned a state trial court’s $706.2 million jury award in a breach of contract and trade secret misappropriation lawsuit, ruling that although a Texas trial court did not err in entering a take-nothing judgment on a title insurer’s breach of contract claim against a provider of property appraisal software, data and analytic tools, a new trial was necessary regarding the defendant’s trade secret misappropriation and fraud claims (Title Source Inc. v. HouseCanary Inc., No. 04-19-00044-CV, Texas App., 2020 Tex. App. LEXIS 4116)....
