Back in the old days, whatever the jury decided was the dollar amount you deserved is what you got. In an effort to stop so-called "runaway juries" from hurting businesses, the Texas Legislature placed limits on what juries could award for punitive damages under most circumstances. A law called the Texas Damages Act capped punitive damages in the following way:

Punitive damages are limited to the value of two times the amount the jury [a]wards for economic damages plus...An amount equal to what the jury awards for non-economic damages (up $750,000).
