A formal exception to a ruling or order is unnecessary to preserve a claim of error. When the ruling or order is requested or made, a party need only state the action that it wants the court to take or that it objects to, along with the grounds for the request or objection. Failing to object does not prejudice a party who had no opportunity to object when the ruling or order is made.
