Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that when strict liability and breach‑of‑implied‑warranty claims are based on the same design defect, a trial court need not submit separate jury questions or instructions for each theory; a single question covering the defect suffices. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Court of Appeals and affirmed the district court’s judgment for the defendant.
