Bell Nunnally recently secured a favorable outcome for Argyle, Tex.-based chemical-solutions company BPS Just Energy Technology, LLC in parallel litigation in Midland County and Tarrant County. BPS’s former CEO had sued the company, claiming unpaid wages and bonuses totaling more than $600K.

The Bell Nunnally team, led by Partner Mark A. Shoffner, Senior Counsel Christian J. Cowart and Senior Associate Joshua D. Fuller, first obtained an order granting a plea in abatement in the Midland County case, forcing the plaintiff to proceed only with the earlier-filed Tarrant County case stemming from the plaintiff’s appeal of an adverse Texas Workforce Commission decision. However, following this development, the plaintiff nonsuited his six-figure claims in both lawsuits, concluding the litigation.
