Southern Pine Lumber Company v. C. Andrade III.

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals and affirmed the district court, holding that the jury's findings of contributory negligence and speed were supported by substantial evidence and that the appellate court erred in overturning the trial court on the basis of an alleged improper influence over the jury's damages answer. The Court also affirmed the trial court's rulings on the admissibility of a deposition and the denial of a motion to suppress that deposition.
