Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Railway Company v. Charles L. Conley and Wife

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the jury charge imposed an impermissibly greater duty on the railway carrier than the law requires, violating the Halloren standard of care. The Court affirmed that objections to the charge under Art. 1971 preserve the issue for appeal without a special charge, and therefore reversed the lower courts' judgments and remanded for further proceedings.
