I just want to understand the concept by examples. Can anyone give me a quick and simple example of a reasonable information and an unreasonable one. Thank you.

If you're responding to a summary judgment you should probably be using case law in response. Either go to a local law library and look up Texas cases that discuss "reasonable inference" or go here: http://scholar.google.com/ and search "reasonable inference" in Texas cases. Finally, you should strongly consider hiring an attorney to assist you with your case. Typically summary judgment motions and responses are not DIY projects. Best of luck to you!

You go into a movie theatre and there is totally dry pavement. You leave the theatre after your show 2 hours later. There is snow everywhere around you on the ground. It's reasonable to infer it snowed while you watched your movie. You go into a movie and it's raining...you come out and the pavement is wet, but it is not raining. You cannot infer when it stopped raining....

Judges are not supposed to grant a summary judgment motion unless there are no real facts in dispute. So, the judge is supposed to assume, for the purposes of ruling on the summary judgment motion, that all disputed facts and reasonable inferences are in favor of the party opposing the motion.
