Cary McNair Jr. Drops Guardianship Lawsuit vs. Mother, Texans Owner Janice McNair
After months of battling in the court system, Houston Texans owner Janice McNair's court case vs. her son Cary McNair Jr. has been dropped.
Last November, McNair Jr. filed for legal guardianship of his mother following a 2022 stroke - one that he believed had caused her mental capacity to be impaired and had impacted her ability to run the business.
However, earlier this month, a judge ruled in favor of Janice McNair, telling attorneys that while he wanted what was in McNair’s best interest, he ultimately ruled in her favor after taking into account her own wishes.
Now, less than two weeks later, all parties involved in the lawsuit have elected to drop the case, including McNair Jr., the Texans, and his mother, according to a report from the Houston Chronicle.
Following the decision to drop the suit, Texans Chairman and COO Cal McNair's attorney Paul Dobrowski released a statement to the Chronicle, expressing his clients' delight for the case to be concluded.
“Mr. Cal McNair is delighted that the frivolous lawsuit against his mother, Janice McNair, was dismissed today,” McNair’s attorney said in a statement. “He is relieved that she will not be burdened by an unnecessary medical examination nor placed under a repressive guardianship that would restrict her rights. She will continue to be actively involved as Founder and Senior Chairperson of the Houston Texans.”
