Liability of Parent Corporation -- Whether the parent is liable for the actions of its subsidiary when the parent does not perpetrate fraud

In R&M Mixed Beverage Consultants, Inc. v Safe Harbor Benefits, Inc. 578 S.W.3d 218 (Tex.App. - El Paso 2019, no pet.), the Court of Appeals cites the Texas Supreme Court for the proposition that there must be evidence that one of the corporations was using the other for purpose of perpetrating actual fraud for the defendant's direct personal benefit. The Court found that the record showed no evidence of actual fraud and therefore the parent would not be liable for the subsidiary's action.
