Carlos Rivas, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court held that a party’s plain‑English objection, even if it does not cite a specific Rule of Evidence, is sufficient to preserve error for appellate review. Accordingly, the Court of Appeals erred in finding that the appellant failed to preserve his objection to the nurse’s report, and the judgment was vacated and remanded for further consideration of the admissibility of that evidence.
