Consuelo Serna Lorusso, Petitioner v. Members Mutual Insurance Company, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals, holding that the harmless error rule applies to the trial court's grant of six peremptory challenges to each defendant and that petitioner Lorusso failed to show the error caused a materially unfair trial. Justice Barrow wrote the opinion; Justice Steakley dissented, arguing the disparity of challenges rendered the trial unfair and should be reversed.
