| 501 | 66 | III. Q2 charge error — failure to distinguish acts of each defendant | Q2 improperly tracked § 134A.002(3)(A) (direct misappropriation) when Pohl only pled indirect misappropriation under § 134A.002(3)(B). Definition of 'improper means' improperly included multiple acts beyond theft when Pohl only alleged theft. Jury influenced by erroneous theories — found Precision did not misappropriate yet found Kassab 70% responsible. Broad-form question error under Crown Life v. Casteel; cannot rule out jury relied on invalid theory (Morrison). Harmful error. |
