Texas Court of Appeals, 11th District (Eastland) August 17, 2000, 11-99-00128-CV (Kelly v. LIN Television of Texas, L.P.)

Opinion

TERRY McCALL, Justice.

The owners of a 1,500-foot television tower hired an independent contractor to replace an old broadcasting antenna with a new one. While the contractor was hoisting a 10,000 pound piece of equipment up the tower, the piece of equipment broke away from the tower and fell against a guy wire, and the tower collapsed.
