Warren v. Medley
521 S.W.2d 137 (1975)
Nature Of The Case
This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.
Facts
Ps went to a nightclub in Dallas where the entertainment was furnished by bare-breasted female 'go-go' dancers who performed upon a plexiglass covered platform in the club. Ps eventually went to D's home where he and his wife were entertaining another couple, Mr. and Mrs. John Reynolds, III. D and Reynolds said that P demonstrated the dance which she had seen at the club, but this was denied by Mrs. Warren. Reynolds urged P to repeat her exhibition, but she declined. Reynolds then grabbed her around the waist and placed her upon the top of the table where the poker game had been conducted. D knew it would not support the weight of an adult. A few seconds while pleading to be helped down, the glass top broke. P fell through the broken top and sustained injury to her leg from the broken shards. Ps sued D and Reynolds. The trial court sustained D's motion for summary judgment. P settled with Reynolds and appealed.
