This distinguished committee is tasked with drafting and updating the standard jury instructions used in civil trials involving malpractice, premises liability, and products liability across Texas.
“It’s an honor to serve on a committee that plays such an important role in ensuring fairness and clarity in our civil justice system,” said Matheny. “I look forward to contributing to the development of instructions that help jurors better understand and apply the law in the courtroom.”
