This case involves an agents alleged tortious interference with his principals contract. Corbett Allen sued Thomas Powell for tortious interference with his employment contract with Powell Industries. He also sued Powell Industries and Thomas Powell for wrongful termination, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The trial court granted summary judgment for Powell and Powell Industries on all claims. Allen appealed only the adverse judgment on the wrongful termination and tortious interference claims. The court of appeals reversed and remanded these claims to the trial court. __ S.W.2d __. We conclude that Powell negated an element of Allens tortious interference claim. Accordingly, we reverse that part of the court of appeals judgment and render judgment that Allen take nothing against Powell for tortious interference. We affirm the court of appeals judgment remanding the wrongful termination claim to the trial court.
