Appeals Court Reverses Ruling for FieldTurf in Warranty Dispute; Finds School District Did Not Abide by Warranty Terms

A Texas state appeals court has reversed the ruling of a lower court, siding with the maker of artificial sports fields in a breach of warranty case involving a public high school district. The appeal dispute involved the New Braunfels Independent School District (NBISD) and FieldTurf USA, Inc. (FieldTurf), concerning the installation of an artificial sports field at one of its stadiums in 2009. FieldTurf's "Duraspine" field was marketed to be more durable and long-lasting than other fields.
