Locally uniform limit of univalent functions

A locally uniform convergence limit of univalent functions on a domain is either constant or univalent. For a nonconstant limit $f$, suppose distinct $x,y$ satisfy $f(x)=f(y)$. Choose a small closed disk around $x$ excluding $y$ with $f-f(y)$ nonzero on its boundary. The Rouche theorem then forces $f_j-f_j(y)$ to have a zero in that disk for large $j$, contradicting injectivity of $f_j$. This supplies the injectivity step in an extremal proof of the Riemann mapping theorem without assuming it as a special lemma.
