The complete grant of summary judgment removes all litigation overhang from this case. FSV's subsidiary faces zero liability exposure from this matter. Given the plaintiff's prior state court dismissal for bad-faith litigation conduct, the risk of a successful appeal is minimal. No material impact on FSV's financials expected.

Executive Summary
A federal district court granted summary judgment in favor of FirstService Residential Texas (a subsidiary of FSV) dismissing all claims in a race discrimination and tort lawsuit. The court found the plaintiff failed to produce admissible evidence of discrimination or trespass, and the state court had previously dismissed her related claims with prejudice due to witness tampering and evidence destruction. The complete dismissal removes contingent litigation risk for FSV.
Court Ruling Details
Key Facts
- Court granted FSR's motion for summary judgment on ALL claims — racial discrimination under §§ 1981, 1982, Fair Housing Act §§ 3604(b), 3617, invasion of privacy, IIED, negligent hiring/supervision/retention, and civil conspiracy.
- Plaintiff's prior state court suit against the HOA and another management company was previously dismissed with prejudice after the state court found she tampered with witnesses, destroyed evidence, and was willfully dishonest.
- The court held plaintiff offered no competent evidence to support claims; her testimony was inadmissible hearsay or speculation, and she failed to produce any documentary evidence she had claimed existed.
- The case had been pending for over a year with trial set less than a month away — the ruling vacated all deadlines and a final judgment will enter.
- No damages or settlement amounts were awarded or pleaded in this document; the opinion does not state any financial exposure figure.
Financial Impact
No financial exposure stated in the opinion. Contingent litigation risk fully removed.
Risk Factors
- Plaintiff could appeal to the Fifth Circuit, but the factual record — especially the prior state court finding of witness tampering — makes reversal unlikely.
- No class-action or multi-plaintiff risk identified; this was a single-plaintiff case.
