Texas Supreme Court

Robert Landry, Jr., Petitioner v. the Travelers Insurance Company, Respondent

October 7, 1970458 S.W.2d 649

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in excluding the plaintiff's 1964 felony conviction as impeachment evidence, affirming the trial court's judgment and reversing the Court of Civil Appeals. Justice Hamilton dissented, arguing the conviction was recent enough to be admissible.
