Jack K. Jeanes Et Al. v. Cliff C. Henderson Et Al‪.‬

This is an appeal from a lawsuit seeking declaratory relief and damages in conjunction with an oil and gas contract. At issue is the applicability of the doctrines of res judicata and collateral estoppel. The trial court rendered summary judgment for defendants, Cliff C. Henderson, Robert B. Stallworth, Jr. and their respective companies, on the grounds that this suit is barred and litigation of the issues is precluded by the res judicata and collateral estoppel effects of a prior federal court judgment involving the same contract. In an unpublished opinion, Tex. R. Civ. P. 452, the court of appeals affirmed the judgment of the trial court. We affirm in part the judgment of the court of appeals, and we reverse and remand in part.
