Tina Martino filed a lawsuit March 21 in Galveston County District Court against Roger Schrull doing business as A-1 Guaranteed Pest Control + Termites, and dentist Charles Harris, alleging design defect, negligence, negligence resulting in injury and product liability.

Martino seeks a trial by jury, monetary relief of more than $1 million, all damages, interest at the maximum rate allowed by the law, all legal fees and any other relief the court deems just. She is represented by attorneys Joshua Estes and James L. Magers of The Estes Law Firm PC in Richmond.
