280	36	H. Damages	TUTSA authorizes recovery of 'actual loss caused by misappropriation' (§ 134A.004(a)), including lost profits, defendant's actual profits, value a reasonably prudent investor would have paid, development costs avoided, and reasonable royalty (Sw. Energy). Defense fees from defending barratry suits constitute actual loss. Martin-Simon v. Womack (only case defendants cite on prior attorneys' fees) was directly questioned by Texas Supreme Court in Akin Gump v. National Development and subsequent caselaw confirms prior litigation fees may be recovered as actual damages (Dixon v. Chang). Walker and Ladner testified Pohl's client list was worth $6 million. Favre confirmed information was one of Precision's 'most valuable asset.'
