In this challenge to a deputy sheriff's firing, a principal issue is whether the Texas Government Code's requirement that a misconduct complaint against a law-enforcement officer be in writing and signed by the complainant applies to an "internal" complaint - that is, in this case, when a county prosecutor brought evidentiary concerns to the sheriff in a case involving the deputy.

The issues in this wrongful-death case, involving assumed liabilities from the sale of a treadmill manufacturer, are (1) whether the appeals court properly defined a product-liability claim under the assets-sale agreement to require both bodily injury and property damage; (2) whether the appeals court erred by holding that the company buying the other assumed the implied warranty of merchantability under the agreement; and (3) whether the cause of action for breach of the implied merchantability warranty constitutes a product-liability claim.
