- “Simply put, Plaintiffs allege so many different ways in which Defendants enticed Decedent to gamble, that it is impossible to say jet transportation from Texas to Las Vegas-alone-was a but-for cause of Plaintiffs' IIED and wrongful death claims.
- In response, Plaintiffs-Decedent's heirs-filed the instant suit against Defendants in the Hidalgo County Probate Court, alleging wrongful death and intentional infliction of emotional distress(IIED), employing the Texas survival statute as a vehicle for relief.
