HOUSTON – A man who slipped in a wet parking lot and sued Buc-ee’s failed to receive a favorable ruling on appeal, as justices have affirmed the dismissal of his lawsuit.
In August 2016, Anthony Barlow visited the Buc-ee’s store in New Braunfels. It was drizzling and the cement outside was visibly wet, court records show.
As Barlow exited the store, he walked through a handicapped-parking stall, stepped on a painted stripe and slipped and fell, injuring his leg.
A year later, Barlow filed suit against Buc-ee’s, alleging the store created an “unreasonably dangerous condition” by striping its parking lot surface with a paint that became “unreasonably slippery” when wet.
