Description
On motion of the Court, the opinion issued in this matter on April 7, 2005 is withdrawn and the following opinion is issued in its place. In this opinion, the Court revises its legal-sufficiency review of the evidence supporting the jurys finding of malice and felony theft to conform to the supreme courts precedent in Southwestern Bell Tel. Co. v. Garza, No. 01-1142, 2004 Tex. LEXIS 1424, *1-2 (December 31, 2004) (publication pending). This is an appeal from a judgment of approximately $14 million against appellant, Coastal Oil and Gas Corporation ("Coastal"), now known as El Paso Production Oil & Gas Company, following a jury trial in Hidalgo County. Appellees, plaintiffs below, are members of the Garza and Salinas families. They are Coastals lessors in several undivided mineral leases in Share 13, the subject matter of this suit. Appellees asserted multiple causes of action at trial. They alleged Coastal committed a subsurface trespass on Share 13 through the fracture treatment of a well located on an adjacent tract of land known as Share 12. They also claimed that Coastal breached the duty of good faith pooling, as well as the implied covenants to market, develop the leasehold, and protect against drainage.
