Jones v. Steele

Court of Civil Appeals of Texas, Houston
Oct 4, 1962
360 S.W.2d 592 (Tex. Civ. App. 1962)

Opinion

No. 13989.

October 4, 1962.

Appeal from the District Court, Galveston County, Donald M. Markle, J.

Fuhrhop Jones, Jerome Jones, Galveston, for appellant.

No appearance for appellee.


This is an appeal from the judgment of the trial court granting a bill of review and setting aside and holding for nought a default judgment previously rendered. The judgment appealed from did not dispose of the case on its merits so as to finally determine appellee's liability to appellant. This is no final judgment and we have no jurisdiction. Palmer v. D. O. K. K. Benevolent and Insurance Association, 160 Tex. 513, 334 S.W.2d 149; Clay Lumber Co. v. Patterson, 28 S.W.2d 825, Tex.Civ.App., no writ hist.; McCauley v. Consolidated Underwriters, 157 Tex. 475, 304 S.W.2d 265; Lynn v. Hanna, 116 Tex. 652, 296 S.W. 280.

Appellant to support his position that the judgment is final cites Ft. Worth Denver City Ry. Co. v. Reid, 115 S.W.2d 1156, Tex.Civ.App., no writ hist. We regard such decision as not authoritative because at variance with the authorities above cited.

The appeal is dismissed.
