Description

This is an appeal from a partial summary judgment under rule 166a(a), Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, in favor of the plaintiff/appellee, Thomas Adams, III ("Adams"). Adams, a lawyer who formerly represented the defendants/appellants, Mel Powers ("Powers") and Basin Cement Company, Inc. ("Basin"), filed a suit on a sworn account against his former clients to collect unpaid legal fees and attorney's fees incurred in bringing the collection suit. Powers and Basin answered and brought a counterclaim, alleging usury. The trial court granted summary judgment for Adams on his claims for affirmative relief and severed the usury counterclaim. On appeal, Powers and Basin challenge the trial court's grant of summary judgment in favor of Adams. We reverse and remand.
