Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' judgment for Houston Northwest Medical Center, holding that the plaintiff waived any error in jury selection by failing to timely notify the trial court before using her peremptory challenges. The Court required that a party must inform the court prior to exercising peremptory challenges that objectionable jurors remain on the list, otherwise the error is waived.
