what on earth are you blabbering about?!

I hope the bar examiners like movies.

This afternoon, as I worked Texas Procedure questions, the following question appeared:

We-Haul did not disclose trial witness Jones during discovery because We-Haul could not ascertain Jones' whereabouts and did not expect to be able to call Jones as a witness. Four days before trial, We-Haul discovered Jones' whereabouts, but did not notify the opposing party. May We-Haul call Jones as a witness during trial?

I answered the question thusly:

No, because if new s*#t has come to light, We-Haul has a duty to supplement their response to the earlier Request for Disclosure.

I didn't even realize what I had done until much later when I reviewed my answers. I hope I don't do that on the real Bar Exam.

Take 'er easy...
