Mayer Secures Summary Judgment in Unique Golf Course Liability Case
Mayer recently achieved a decisive victory on behalf of The Woodlands Country Club and Invited Clubs in a high-stakes lawsuit involving repeated golf ball strikes to a neighboring home. With limited Texas precedent on golf course liability, the case carried the potential to set an unfavorable statewide standard for golf courses.
Plaintiffs initially sought a temporary injunction to shut down the club’s Tournament Course—potentially affecting employee jobs and member enjoyment. Mayer acted swiftly and successfully persuaded the court to deny the injunction.
Led by Trent Rexing, Andrew Upton, and Patrick Copeland, the Mayer team executed a strategic defense that included defeating multiple motions to compel and obtaining a first-of-its-kind Texas state court sanction against opposing counsel for reliance on AI-generated materials. Ultimately, Mayer’s thorough briefing and persuasive argument secured a complete dismissal of all claims.
This result underscores Mayer’s ability to navigate novel legal issues and protect clients from potentially precedent-setting risks.
