Southwestern Bell Telephone Company and James Cozart, Petitioners v. Robert Richard Johnson, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's discretion to exclude a witness who was not placed under Rule 267, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion; the Court of Civil Appeals' reversal was reversed. A dissent argued the exclusion was an abuse of discretion and would have affirmed the appellate court.
