Description

This is an oil and gas case involving a "release" of liability for any negligence which may occur after the making of the release. We must determine whether the fair notice requirements applicable to indemnity agreements also apply to releases that operate to relieve a party in advance for responsibility for its own negligence, and whether compliance with the fair notice requirements is a question of law for the court or a question of fact for the jury. The court of appeals reversed the judgment of the trial court for Page Petroleum against Houston Fishing Tools because it determined that the agreement between the parties contained an enforceable release which barred any recovery for Page. Dresser Industries, Inc. v. Page Petroleum, Inc., 821 S.W.2d 359. However, the court of appeals affirmed the judgment of the trial court against Dresser Industries, Inc. because it held that the indemnity clause in the Page-Dresser agreement did not preclude a recovery for Page. 821 S.W.2d at 363-64. We reverse and remand the take-nothing judgment of the court of appeals in favor of Houston Fishing and affirm the judgment against Dresser.
