Mrs. Etta Mae Wade v. Texas Employers’ Insurance Association

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the respondent's failure to timely object to improper jury argument resulted in a waiver of the error, and that the argument was of the "curable" type, thus the error was waived. The Court also affirmed the admissibility of the deceased's statements as res gestae evidence. Accordingly, the appellate court's reversal was reversed and the trial court judgment affirmed.
