High Court Affirms Kubecka Suit Here
The Texas Third Court of Civil Appeals affirmed the trial court judgment in favor of D. J. Kubecka against Cameron Compress Company. The case arose from an altercation with John Hause, a watchman assisting the company, who struck Kubecka during orders given by the company. The court ruled the burden of proof rested with the affirmative defense, self defense, and noted that without that defense the burden would have shifted to Kubecka. The verdict referenced an 88000 settlement or judgment.
