Opinion delivered and filed September 29, 2004.
Appeal from the 66th District Court, Hill County, Texas, Trial Court # 36622.
Affirmed.
Before Chief Justice GRAY, Justice VANCE, and Justice REYNA.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This appeal concerns a declaratory judgment action. The trial court rendered summary judgment for Appellees. We will affirm.
Appellant contends that he was deprived of a jury trial by virtue of the trial court's granting summary judgment. Yet the only actions of the trial court of which Appellant complains are the denial of a motion for continuance and the failure to file findings of fact and conclusions of law. The trial court did not err in denying Appellant's motion for continuance, which was not supported by affidavit. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 251-252; Tenneco Inc. v. Enter. Prods. Co., 925 S.W.2d 640, 647 (Tex. 1996). The trial court did not err in not filing findings of fact and conclusions of law after rendering summary judgment. See IKB Indus. (Nig.) Ltd. v. Pro-Line Corp., 938 S.W.2d 440, 441-42 (Tex. 1997). The granting of a summary judgment does not improperly deprive a party of the right to a jury trial. Springer v. Am. Zurich Ins. Co., 115 S.W.3d 582, 587 (Tex.App.-Waco 2003, pet. denied); see City of Houston v. Clear Creek Basin Auth., 589 S.W.2d 671, 678 n. 5 (Tex. 1979). We overrule Appellant's issue. We affirm the judgment.
