WARREN V. MEDLEY
521 S.W.2d 137 (1975)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Warren (P) appealed a summary judgment to Medley (D) in P's action
for negligence.
FACTS: Ps went to a nightclub in Dallas where the entertainment was furnished by
bare-breasted female 'go-go' dancers who performed upon a plexiglass covered platform in the
club. Ps eventually went to D's home where he and his wife were entertaining another couple,
Mr. and Mrs. John Reynolds, III. D and Reynolds said that P demonstrated the dance which she
had seen at the club but this was denied by Mrs. Warren. Reynolds urged P to repeat her
exhibition but she declined. Reynolds then grabbed her around the waist and placed her upon
the top of the table where the poker game had been conducted. D knew it would not support
the weight of an adult. A few seconds while pleading to be helped down, the glass top broke.
P fell through the broken top and sustained injury to her leg from the broken shards. Ps
sued D and Reynolds. The trial court sustained D's motion for summary judgment. P settled
with Reynolds and appealed.
