Texas Supreme Court May 5, 1965, A-10474 (Anchor Casualty Company v. Hartsfield)

STEAKLEY, Justice.

The crucial question in this workmen’s compensation case is the status of O. E. Hartsfield, Respondent, at the time of his injury, i. e., whether he was an employee of Wolff Construction Company

1

or an independent contractor. Upon trial, and in answer to Special Issues Nos. 1 and 2, the jury found that Hartsfield was the former and was not the latter.
