Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas

Tort Liability
A company has experienced vandalized vehicles in its parking lot and some second shift employees have been robbed as they walked to their cars at night. The company also receives shipments of parts and other items from vendors at its receiving/shipping dock located at the rear of each plant. The parking lot and dock areas are well lit; however, some lights are now out. While waiting for the dock manager to return from lunch, a vendor was attacked and robbed of his wallet and the electronic chips he was delivering.

What, if any, tort liability may the company have to the vendor and to the company employees that were attacked?

What defenses may be available to BUG? Explain your answer?
