Dallas Court Eyes September Bench Trial in Extenet v. Horizon

The 101st Judicial District Court in Dallas wants to schedule a bench trial in the two-week docket opening Sept. 19 on Extenet’s Dec. 16 complaint that blamed Horizon Underground employees for causing $34,454 in damages to an underground cable, said the court’s notice Wednesday (docket DC-22-17265). Horizon said the contractor Extenet hired in March 2021, U.S. Infrastructure, was the real culprit because it improperly located and marked Extenet’s underground utility cable and facilities under a 48-hour “dig notice” (see 2302200003).
