Standard of Review
The standard for review of a traditional summary judgment is well-settled. We review a summary judgment de
novo to determine whether a party has established its right to summary judgment as a matter of law. See
Dallas Cent. Appraisal Dist. v. Cunningham, 161 S.W.3d 293, 295 (Tex. App.-Dallas 2005, no pet.). A party
moving for a traditional summary judgment must show no material fact issue exists and it is entitled to judgment
as a matter of law. Tex. R. Civ. P.166a(c); Cunningham, 161 S.W.3d at 295. When reviewing a summary
judgment, we must examine the entire record in the light most favorable to the nonmovant, indulging every
reasonable inference and resolving any doubts against the motion. City of Keller v. Wilson, 168 S.W.3d 802,
824-25 (Tex. 2005).
