Golden Eagle Archery, Inc., Petitioner v. Ronald Jackson, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Texas Rules of Civil Procedure 327(b) and Rule of Evidence 606(b) are constitutional and do not bar juror testimony about conversations occurring before formal deliberations, but they do bar testimony about statements made during formal deliberations; consequently, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying a new trial and the Court reversed the appellate judgment and remanded for consideration of the remaining issues.
