Kagan-Edelman Enterprises v. Bond

James C. Bond and Gateway Lumber Co., Inc. sued Kagan-Edelman Capital Fund Series VII, Ltd., a limited partnership, and its two general partners to determine the validity of liens for improvements to a shopping center owned by the limited partnership. Bond and Gateway also sued Kagan-Edelman Enterprises, which owned no interest in the shopping center or the limited partnership. At the conclusion of a bench trial, the trial court rendered judgment against Bond and Gateway with regard to the liens, declaring them invalid, and accordingly rendered a take-nothing judgment in favor of the limited partnership, its general partners, and Kagan-Edelman Enterprises. Bond and Gateway appealed, but did not list Kagan-Edelman Enterprises as a party or raise any issue on appeal with regard to that entity. The court of appeals held the liens to be valid, reversed the trial courts judgment in part, and remanded the case for further proceedings as to the limited partnership, its general partners, and Kagan-Edelman Enterprises. 985 S.W.2d at 258.
