Venue is Harmless?
This week, the CCA dismissed a PDR as improvidently granted. The case, originally from the Tyler Court of Appeals, presented the rather new notion that insufficiency of evidence as to venue can be (and was in this case) harmless. To read the Tyler opinion, click here.

So, is that now the law in Texas?

Wouldn't that be useful. But a number of things may have triggered kicking out the case. Having been on both sides of cases that have been improvidently granted after briefing and argument and then having seen the issues addressed in other cases a few months later, I don't believe we can attach too much significance to the CCA's ruling.
