J. Neeley finds the trial court properly convicted defendant for abandoning or endangering a child. Officers responded to a call a man was lying unconscious outside a vehicle, within which was a screaming 4-year-old. Defendant was found to be impaired, and an empty prescription bottle for methadone and unopened alcohol containers were found in the vehicle. Though defendant says there is no proof the child was in danger, the child's elevated temperature, requiring medical care to normalize, contradicts this claim. Affirmed.

J. Barrett denies the judge's motion for judgment as a matter of law, ruling the jury's split verdicts on the employee's Equal Protection and First Amendment claims are not inconsistent. Evidence allowed the jury to conclude the employee's termination, which came immediately after she requested time off for the Jewish high holidays, was a direct result of the request but not solely because of her religious beliefs. Meanwhile, the employee's voluntary resignation from a subsequent position requires the award of back pay be reduced by $20,000, while her failure to prove any evil intent on the part of the judge prevented an award of punitive damages, and so that $35,000 award will also be vacated.

J. Pym finds in favor of the officers against the homeowner's complaint that the officers entered the his home without a warrant and seized several of his credit cards. The officers were in hot pursuit of a separate suspect that began when the suspect did not pull over for a traffic stop and continued into the homeowner's home, and the immediacy of the pursuit did not end as one of the officers called for backup because there was always the intent to immediately arrest the suspect.

J. Major partly grants a fitness company's motion to compel a treadmill manufacturer to produce license agreements in this patent dispute. Because there is a question regarding the validity and applicability of a licensing and royalty agreement, the patents related to non-curved treadmills and their components are relevant and discoverable. However, the manufacturer is not entitled to the fitness company's profit and loss statements, as this is significant and sensitive financial information from a direct competitor.

J. Baker vacates the trial court’s order appointing the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services and a mother as joint managing conservators over the care of the mother’s child. On appeal, the department argues that the court erred in appointing it as one of the child’s conservators when it chose to drop the suit. The trial court abused its discretion in appointing the department despite its nonsuit. Vacated.
