B.j. McDaniel, Jr. and Pamela Chamrod McDaniel, Petitioners v. Tom Yarbrough, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a juror temporarily unable to attend court because of flooding was not "disabled from sitting" under the Texas Constitution and Rule 292, and therefore the trial court abused its discretion in dismissing her; the Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for a new trial.
