Heading: cumulative error and trial court bias

Text: The issues in this case were clearly defined, and all theories of all the parties were ably presented to the jury. The record consisted of approximately 4,500 pages. The few minor errors were insignificant when considered in the context of the entire case. We hold that any error did not individually or in the aggregate constitute reversible error. The court of appeals did not rule on several of the defendants' points of error which assert failure of the trial court to conduct the trial in a fair and impartial manner. Those points are within our jurisdiction so we will rule on them rather than remand them to the court of appeals. McKelvy v. Barber, 381 S.W.2d 59, 64 (Tex. 1964). Our review of the record reveals no discernible bias or any suggestion to the jury that the trial court desired a particular result or that it favored the plaintiff.
