Tex. R. Civ. P. 281
Papers Taken to Jury Room
With the court’s permission, the jury may take with them to the jury room any notes they took
during the trial. In addition, the jury may, and on request shall, take with them in their retirement
the charges and instructions, general or special, which were given and read to them, and any written
evidence, except the depositions of witnesses, but shall not take with them any special charges
which have been refused. Where only part of a paper has been read in evidence, the jury shall not
take the same with them, unless the part so read to them is detached from that which was excluded.
