422	59	Indirect misappropriation requires direct misappropriation by upstream party — Precision's exoneration breaks chain	Kassab	defense	Jury found Precision did not misappropriate (Q2(a)(3), Q2(b)(3)) and assigned 0% fault (Q4). TUTSA § 134A.002(3)(B)(ii)(a) requires knowing acquisition from someone who used improper means. Since Precision was exonerated, daisy-chain of indirect misappropriation is broken.
