AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED AND REMANDED IN PART AND OPINION FILED AUGUST 16, 2001.

OPINION

Kendra Sue Cuyler, appellant in this case, sued Michael Minns and L.T. Bradt, the attorneys who represented her in an automobile accident claim. This accident claim was tried to a jury, which awarded $5,000 in damages. Cuyler filed suit against Minns and Bradt for malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, negligence, violations of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act, negligence per se, and violation of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct. The heart of her complaint is that their negligence prevented her from winning the recovery she deserved. The trial court granted the attorney-defendants’ motion for summary judgment. In two points of error Cuyler contends appellees did not establish their entitlement to summary judgment and that the trial court erred in not granting her motion for new trial.
