In Travelers Insurance Co. v. Brown, 395 S.W.2d 701 (Tex. Civ. App.--Texarkana 1965, writ ref'd n.r.e.), Louis contracted with Smith to clean the interior walls of a building. Louis then hired Brown to actually do the work. The court of civil appeals held that Brown was not Smith's employee because there was no evidence "of an intention on Smith's part to empower Louis to employ workmen for Smith." Brown, 395 S.W.2d at 702. In Carnes v. Transport Insurance Co., 615 S.W.2d 909 (Tex. Civ. App.--El Paso 1981, writ ref'd n.r.e.)
