Leon Goforth v. Frank Alvey

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's judgment, holding that the petitioner's counsel's argument was not legally calculated to cause an improper verdict and therefore did not constitute reversible error. The Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals and affirmed the trial court, noting that no proof of negligence was shown and the evidence supported the verdict rendered. Justice Smith and Justice Wilson dissented, arguing that the argument was prejudicial and warranted reversal.
