Description

This is a usury case. Plaintiff John L. Shook sued RepublicBank Dallas (the Bank) for double the amount of interest paid on a note executed by a corporation by the name of J.L.S., Inc. Shook alleged that the corporation was a shell and that the interest was actually paid by him as an individual. The Bank counterclaimed for the amount of the principal and interest. The trial court rendered judgment notwithstanding the verdict in favor of the Bank. The court of appeals reversed that judgment and rendered judgment for Shook, the borrower, for usury, but remanded the matter of attorney fees to the trial court. 627 S.W.2d 741 (Tex. App.--Tyler 1981). We reverse the court of appeals judgment. We affirm the judgment of the trial court that Shook take nothing and that the Bank recover the principal and interest on the note together with attorney fees.
