Johnny Gonzales, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' judgment, holding that a juror's failure to disclose on a written questionnaire that she was a complainant does not constitute misconduct requiring reversal because defense counsel did not ask follow‑up oral questions. The Court noted that counsel has a duty to be diligent in eliciting material information, and written questionnaires alone are insufficient for that purpose. Justice McCormick, in a concurring opinion, agreed with the judgment but argued the petition was improvidently granted.
