Texas Supreme Court

Dennis S. Wagner v. Charles H. Foster

December 14, 1960161 Tex. 333

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals because the appellate court sustained points of error that were not properly preserved in a motion for new trial or judgment non obstante veredicto. The Court held that a motion for new trial must specifically and distinctly set out each ground of error, and general references are insufficient. The case was remanded for further proceedings consistent with this requirement.
