Description
On Application for Writ of Error to the Court of Appeals for the First District of Texas Argued October 10, 1995 the opinion for a unanimous Court. This is a wrongful death suit against Chambers County arising from conduct of the Chambers County Sheriff's Department. The first issue is whether a juror committed reversible jury misconduct by socializing with her boyfriend, a Chambers County deputy sheriff, during the trial, even though the deputy was not involved in the events underlying the lawsuit. The second issue is whether a bailiff committed harmful misconduct by commenting incidentally on ""raising taxes"" in the presence of the jury panel prior to voir dire. The trial court, after rendering a judgement for the County in accordance with the jury's verdict, refused to grant a new trial based on this conduct. The court of appeals affirmed. 893 S.W.2d 264. Because we conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in overruling the motion for new trial, we affirm the judgement of the court of appeals.
