Tracy L. McCraw, Petitioner v. Jimmie L. Maris, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the handwritten duplicate beneficiary designation form was admissible because it was not offered to prove the truth of its contents, and that its exclusion was reversible error warranting reversal and remand. The Court also noted that the error likely affected the judgment, and therefore sent the case back for further proceedings on all issues.
