2017In their third complaint, the Knoderers complain of the court’s addition of an instruction to its jury issue regarding whether State Farm made any misrepresentations that caused damages to Susan: “You are further instructed that if the Knoderers failed to provide State Farm with all the material and pertinent facts prior to the time State Farm made a representation relating to coverage for the loss, there could be no misrepresentation by State Farm.” The trial court is given considerable discretion in determining proper jury instructions, and “[a]n instruction is proper if it (1) assists the j

2015Compare Stuhler v. State, 218 S.W.3d 706, 719 (Tex.Crim.App.2007) (finding existence of egregious harm, in part, because the “risk” of harm from erroneously omitted unanimity instruction was “substantial” in light of fact that “greater bulk” of State’s evidence was devoted to establishing one theory of guilt over the other), with, Allen, 253 S.W.3d at 268 (concluding that, even had jury been properly instructed, it was “not likely” that jury would have found in defendant’s favor as to defensive issue).

2009Act of May 28, 1989 , 71st Leg., R.S., ch. 370, § 1, sec. 14.01(b)(1), 1989 4 The only addition to the presumption statute that amounts to anything beyond rearranging words is subsection (b) of section 153.131, which states that it is “a rebuttable presumption that the appointment of the parents of a child as joint managing conservators is in the best interest of the child.” The majority solely relies on subsection (b) as having precedent-overruling importance.

1995We observe that an argument could be made that the addition in rule 33(b) of the language “or any other reason that renders the judgment invalid” expands the scope of grounds for a motion in arrest of judgment beyond those set out in former Tex.Code CRIM.P.Ann. art. 41.03 (Vernon 1979). 1 Such an argument would have to overlook the legislature’s limitation when it granted rule-making authority to the Court of Criminal Appeals: “that its rules may not abridge, enlarge, or modify the substantive rights of a litigant.” Tex.Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.108(a) (Vernon 1988); see Davis v.
