| 4 | Responsible Third-Party Designations | Damages | High | Kassab filed 4 RTP motions; only Favre/Precision designation granted (Aug 2023, one week before trial). | Settled co-defendants Favre and Precision Marketing bore proportionate responsibility for Pohl’s damages. | RTP designation untimely, procedurally improper, and designed to confuse jury on proportionate responsibility. | RTP designation of Favre/Precision granted Aug 14, 2023 (Kassab’s only procedural win). Jury still found Kassab liable. | May be challenged on appeal (timing/prejudice). Jury verdict mooted practical effect. | Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.004; Tex. R. Civ. P. 194. |
