Meagan Hassan Justice
On Appeal from the 125th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2016-36005
DISSENTING OPINION
This case is remarkably similar to Ginn v. Pierce, No. 14-17-00742-CV, 2019 WL 4511328 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Sept. 19, 2019, no pet.). There, we reversed the trial court's denial of plaintiff's motion for directed verdict (as to liability) where defendant admitted fault. Here, defendant admitted responsibility and there was no evidence adduced at trial that plaintiff was contributorily negligent.
Finding nothing to reverse and concluding the majority erroneously finds otherwise while ignoring our precedent, I believe the trial court's ruling should be affirmed.
