Slant Operating v. Octane Energy Operating, 2025 Tex. Bus. 54 (8th Div.) (mem. op.)

Bullard, J. | December 22, 2025

Granting Defendant's motion to strike untimely filed summary-judgment evidence.

Granting in part and denying in part Defendant's Traditional and No-Evidence Motion for Summary Judgment. One plaintiff is not entitled to damages as a matter of law, is not entitled to lost revenue or production as a matter of law, has produced evidence of redesign costs and additional expenses incurred as a result of Defendant's breach, and the record contains evidence of that plaintiff's expectancy damages.

While Plaintiffs do not allege a specific theory/category of reliance damages in their petition, the Court nonetheless addresses Defendant’s argument and holds that the plaintiff has not produced evidence of reliance damages.
