Abstract

Discusses the Texas Supreme Court’s case Kamarath v. Bennett, which adopted the implied warranty of habitability in Texas. The case, however, left three important unanswered questions: “patent vs. latent defects, possibility of waiver and availability of remedies.” The author attempts to clarify the ruling in Kamarath and make recommendations for consistency.
