Description

State Farm Lloyds (State Farm) brought a subrogation suit against the City of Arlington to recover monies it paid to an insured homeowner whose home was damaged by a sewage backup. The trial court awarded damages to State Farm, and the court of appeals affirmed. Initially, we must determine whether the City adequately preserved its argument that there was no evidence to support essential elements of State Farms nuisance and takings claims. Because we conclude that the City adequately supported its arguments in the court of appeals with record references and citation of authority, we hold that it preserved the argument. Based on this Courts decision in City of Dallas v. Jennings, ___S.W.3d___ (Tex. 2004), we further conclude that the City of Arlington is not liable, as a matter of law, for the damages alleged in the underlying case. We therefore reverse the court of appeals judgment and render judgment in favor of the City of Arlington.
