Jim Sanders v. O. Z. Harder

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the trial court's judgment non obstante veredicto and the Court of Civil Appeals' affirmation, holding that the jury could consider the petitioners' denial of service because corroborating circumstances existed, and that the trial court lacked authority to enter judgment contrary to the verdict. The Court also affirmed that petitioners' failure to serve a timely reply to a Rule 169 request for admissions did not constitute error. The case was remanded for further proceedings.
