29	4	Failure to State a Claim — conspiracy requires viable underlying tort	Montague	affirmative_defense	Under Texas law, if defendant's liability for alleged underlying tort is foreclosed as matter of law, there is no claim for conspiracy (Frankoff v. Norman, 448 S.W.3d 75, 87). Plaintiffs' only link to Montague is bald assertion they 'knew' information was stolen, which has no factual basis.
