Description
Signal Peak Enterprises of Texas, Inc. and Cecil Stephens appeal the trial court's judgment awarding damages for breach of contract and fraud to Bettina Investments, Inc. and Oakhill, Incorporated after a jury trial. In fifteen issues, Signal Peak and Stephens urge reversal of the judgment because (i) the contract at issue was illegal, (ii) the trial judge abused his discretion in denying a motion to strike an amended pleading and denying a motion for continuance, (iii) the evidence is legally and factually insufficient to support the jury's findings, and (iv) the punitive damages award exceeded the applicable statutory cap. We reform the award of exemplary damages against Stephens and, as reformed, affirm the trial court's judgment.
