The document is a legal brief submitted to the Supreme Court of Texas by Dealers Electrical Supply Co. in a case against Scoggins Construction Company and Bill R. Scoggins. The brief argues that the Thirteenth Court of Appeals misinterpreted the Texas Construction Trust Fund Statute, claiming it erroneously held that a payment bond under the McGregor Act is the exclusive remedy for subcontractors, thereby eliminating their rights under the Trust Fund Statute and joint check agreements. The petitioner contends that this ruling undermines established construction practices and public policy favoring laborers and materialmen, and seeks to have the Supreme Court reverse the appellate court's decision.
