DIB supported its motion with several exhibits, including the affidavit of Richard Linker verifying that DIB had been a wholesaler and distributor of Dutton-Lainson products, including brake winches, since 1988.
In its reply to DIB's motion for summary judgment, Dutton-Lainson argued that the identity of the winch and its manufacturer were disputed and unknown, and could never be verified because Huddleston had disposed of the winch before filing suit.
Although Dutton-Lainson complains DIB did not offer proof it sold the defective brake winch to Alamo Lumber, the Texas Supreme Court has already determined that manufacturers are liable to innocent sellers even if the plaintiff has not shown that he bought the product from the seller in question.
