A patent defect is “a defect which ordinary care in the course of reasonable inspection would disclose.” (See Alamo Dressed Beef Company v. Yeargan (1909) 58 Tex. Civ. App. 92, 99.)
“The general rule is well settled that where the dangers involved, and the defects, if any, in such appliances are patent, open and obvious, and as well known to the plaintiff as to the defendant, the injured party cannot recover.” (See Gulf C. S. F. Ry. Co. v. Irick (1938) 116 S.W.2d 1099, 1102.)
“We review a summary judgment de novo.” (See Harkins v. Wal-Mart Stores Tex., LLC, No. 02-21-00201-CV, at *9 (Tex. App. June 23, 2022).)
“The movant for summary judgment has the burden of showing there is no genuine issue of material fact and it is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” (See Nixon v. Mr. Property Management Co. (1985) 690 S.W.2d 546, 548; Powell v. Foxall (2001) 65 S.W.3d 756, 758.)
“In deciding whether a disputed material fact issue precludes summary judgment, evidence favorable to the non-movant is taken as true.” (See id.)
“Every reasonable inference in favor of the non-movant is indulged and any doubts are resolved in its favor.” (See id.)
“The movant must either disprove at least one element of each of plaintiff's theories of recovery or conclusively establish each essential element of an affirmative defense.” (See City of Houston v. Clear Creek Basin Auth. (1979) 589 S.W.2d 671, 678; Powell v. Foxall (2001) 65 S.W.3d 756, 758.)
“If the movant conclusively proves all essential elements of his defense, the burden shifts to the non-movant.” (See Powell v. Foxall (2001) 65 S.W.3d 756, 758.)
“The non-movant must answer that affirmative defense for summary judgment purposes.” (See id.)
It is well settled that “a product is defectively designed when it complies with design specifications, but the design itself causes the product to remain unreasonably dangerous.” (See Robins v. Kroger Co. (1998) 982 S.W.2d 156, 161.)
It is also well settled that “a latent defect is one that is not discoverable by a reasonably prudent inspection.” (See Brown v. Caldwell & Family Custom Homes, Inc., No. 02-11-00490-CV, at *8 (Tex. App. Oct. 4, 2012).)
