The Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, d. b. a. St. Elizabeth Hospital of Beaumont, operates
Question:
One day, Meaux went to the wellness center and placed his clothes, an expensive Rolex watch, and a money clip with $ 400 cash in the locker assigned him. On returning from swimming, Meaux discovered that his locker had been pried open and that his watch and money had been stolen by some unknown person. Meaux sued the Sisters of Charity, alleging that a bailment had been created between him and the Sisters and that the Sisters, as bailee, were negligent and therefore liable to him for the value of his stolen property. The trial court held in favor of Meaux and awarded him $ 19,500 as the value of the stolen property, plus interest and attorneys’ fees. The Sisters of Charity appealed. Was a bailment created between Meaux and the Sisters of Charity? Who wins? Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word v. Meaux, 122 S. W. 3d 428, 2003 Tex. App. Lexis 10189 (Court of Appeals of Texas, 2003)
