Publisher Description

Appellant Robert J. Killeen, Jr., a resident of Harris County, and Appellee Lighthouse Electrical Contractors, L.P. ("Lighthouse"), whose principal place of business is in Travis County, entered into a contract for electrical work to be performed at Killeens Travis County residence. A dispute regarding workmanship and costs ensued. After Killeen refused demands by Lighthouse for payment, the parties exchanged correspondence, which Lighthouse interpreted as a settlement agreement. Lighthouse subsequently sued Killeen in Bexar County for breach of settlement agreement. On appeal, Killeen challenges both the trial courts denial of the motion to transfer venue and the granting of summary judgment. Because the record contains probative evidence that a substantial part of the events giving rise to Lighthouses breach of contract action occurred in Bexar County, we sustain venue in Bexar County. However, because a fact issue exists regarding the formation of the contract, the trial court erred in granting summary judgment. We, therefore, reverse the order of the trial court and remand for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
