Lynette Starr v. A. J. Struss & Company, 01-14-00702-CV

This case involves Lynette Starr appealing a final take-nothing judgment in favor of A.J. Struss Company LLC after motions for summary judgment.
Starr claimed property damage to a home owned by her parents (not herself) and asserted personal injury damages from mold exposure.
The trial court granted standing and no-evidence summary judgment motions against Starr, disposing of all claims.
AJS objected to certain affidavits and evidence, including Starr’s Durable Power of Attorney and Ray Starr affidavit.
On appeal, the court addressed (1) Starr’s standing to sue for property damage she did not own, and (2) whether no-evidence grounds supported dismissal of personal injury claims.
The appellate briefing and record below culminated in an order granting standing and no-evidence judgments, which Starr challenges on appeal.

Issue	Plaintiff's Argument	Defendant's Argument	Held
Did Starr have standing to pursue property-damage claims for her parents’ home she did not own?	Starr contends she had equitable title/right to sue.	Starr did not own the property; no enforceable transfer or POA gave standing.	No standing; ownership required at time of injury and suit; no valid transfer evidenced.
Was the no-evidence summary judgment proper as to Starr’s personal injury claims?	Mold exposure could support health complaints with expert support.	No medical causation evidence; expert testimony insufficient.	Yes; lack of medical causation/expert proof supports no-evidence judgment.
