No. 04-03-00138-CV (Texas Crt. App., Jan. 21, 2004)

Court upholds jury verdict, finding that computer consultant that agreed to create a "computer solution" for its client's needs breached the parties' agreement by recommending the purchase of clone computers which malfunctioned, and custom software from a vender who never supplied it.  As a result, the court upheld the jury's award of $120,793.02, which consisted of the costs incurred by the client to purchase both a new computer system and replacement software, together with the costs of hiring an expert to diagnose its problems, and recommend a solution.  Notably, the computer consultant and its designated software vendor were only paid approximately $45,000 for work, services and hardware provided.
