Text: Finally, appellant claims that the district court erred in concluding that Gazal had not satisfied the requirement that purchasers give notice of a breach of warranty claim prior to filing suit. Tex. Bus. and Com.Code Ann. § 2.607(c)(1). At issue is whether Gazal, as a subpurchaser, was required to give notice to the manufacturer as a precondition of bringing suit. The district court acknowledged that a split of authority exists on this issue within the Texas intermediate appellate courts. It concluded that the Texas Supreme Court, if confronted with the question, would adopt the majority position and require that a subpurchaser give the seller prior notice of his breach of warranty claim. We agree with the district court's prediction and thus conclude that it did not err in granting summary judgment to the defendants on that claim.
