A state appeals court ruled against a Harris County trial court’s dismissal of a contract dispute, finding it ignored the state’s COVID-19 emergency orders when it denied a continuance in the litigation.
The underlying case involved Nicole Felt, a real estate investor who sued Jerry W. Bailey in the 61st District Court. The parties sued each other in December 2015 with Bailey making claims on a $2.65 million loan in default, while Felt sued for breach of contract.
Felt was represented by David Gibson and Reagan Herod of The Gibson Law Firm in Dallas, and by Susan D. Taylor, of counsel at Charles Bennett Law.
