Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the appellate court and remanded for a new trial, holding that the trial court abused its discretion by excluding the accident reconstruction expert because the late designation was not shown to be untimely under Rule 166b(6)(b) and the exclusion was reversible error. Justice Cornyn dissented, arguing the exclusion was not an abuse of discretion and would have affirmed the lower courts.
