Txi Transportation Company, Petitioners v. Randy Hughes, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for a new trial, holding that the accident reconstruction expert's testimony was reliable and therefore admissible, but that evidence of the driver’s illegal‑immigrant status was inadmissible and its admission was harmful error. Justice Wainwright concurred in part and dissented in part, agreeing only with the majority’s finding on the immigration‑status issue.
