Description

Per Curiam The issue in this case is the sanction to be imposed on a party for failing to supplement interrogatories regarding
the address of a witness. The trial court allowed the witness to testify over objection. The court of appeals affirmed, holding
that a determination of good cause was within the trial court's discretion. 762 S.W.2d 304. While we agree with this general
statement of the law, the court of appeals misapplied the standard in this case, and we therefore reverse its judgment and
remand the cause for a new trial. Sterling Price Boothe, III was assaulted in the foyer of the Cellar Door Restaurant in Houston in December 1983. Boothe's
companion that evening, Susan Buck, witnessed the assault and identified Dieter Erich Hausler in a photo line-up and at trial
as Boothe's assailant. Boothe brought suit against Hausler to recover his medical expenses and exemplary damages. Hausler
denied that he had assaulted Boothe and asserted that a companion, Ron Garland, had committed the assault. Based upon jury
findings that Hausler had not assaulted Boothe, the trial court rendered judgment for Hausler.
