Notes of Decisions
Ricardo N., Inc. v. Turcios De Argueta, 907 S.W.2d 423 (Tex. 1995).
“There is no evidence whether the ship’s life preservers did or did not have lights as required by Coast Guard regulation, 46 C.F.R. § 25.25-13 . No evidence suggests that any of the crew members had been trained for emergencies while employed by Ricardo N.”
Ricardo N., Inc. v. Turcios De Argueta, 870 S.W.2d 95 (Tex. App. 1994).
“Initially, we observe that appellants not only brought no witnesses to trial who could testify that the “Betty N” was equipped with life vests with lights on them, they also did not bring the life vests which were on the “Betty N” to show that they were Coast Guard approved.”
