Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A party who fails to supplement seasonably his response to a request for discovery in accordance with paragraph 5 of Rule 166b shall not be entitled to present evidence which the party was under a duty to provide in a supplemental response or to offer the testimony of an expert witness or of any other person having knowledge of discoverable matter when the information required by Rule 166b concerning the witness has not been disclosed, unless the trial court finds that good cause sufficient to require admission exists.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The trial court never made an express finding that “good cause sufficient to require admission” of the testimony existed. It merely overruled appellant’s objection and allowed Wilkins to testify. The court stated, “I’m inclined to go ahead, let him use her only because he could bring her back as a rebuttal witness without naming her as a grunt-and-groaner.” This is not sufficient to constiutute “good cause sufficient to require admission.” Neither rule 168(5) nor 215(5) excludes rebuttal witnesses or “grunt-and-groaners” from disclosure or sanctions. 725 S.W.2d at 264-265 .”
