Description
Ed Johnson and wife, Sue Johnson, perfected this appeal from a take-nothing summary judgment rendered in their libel action against Southwestern Newspapers Corporation, d/b/a Amarillo Globe Times, d/b/a Amarillo Daily News, d/b/a Amarillo Sunday News Globe, and Jim Lexa, a sportswriter for the Amarillo Daily News. The appeal requires us to answer two decisive questions: First, does the summary judgment proof establish as a matter of law that Ed Johnson, a high school athletic director, head football coach, and classroom teacher, was a public official? Second, does the proof show a lack of actual malice in the writing and publication of the offending article? Deeming an affirmative answer to both questions is compelled by the record, we will affirm.
