Richard Greenhalgh, Petitioner v. Service Lloyds Insurance Company, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a trial court must allow a post‑verdict amendment increasing the amount of damages sought unless the opposing party shows surprise or prejudice, reversing the Court of Appeals and affirming the trial court’s judgment. Justice Hecht concurred, noting policy considerations and the interplay of Rule 47 with Rules 63 and 66.
