Cagle v. U.S. Fidelity Guaranty Company

Supreme Court of Texas
May 19, 1965
389 S.W.2d 945 (Tex. 1965)

Opinion

No. A-10636.

April 21, 1965. Rehearing Denied May 19, 1965.

Appeal from District Court, Tarrant County, Walter E. Jordan, J.

Herrick Tillman, Fort Worth, for petitioner.

Brown, Day Crowley, Fort Worth, for respondent.


We are not in accord with the holding of the Court of Civil Appeals that Clarence L. Cagle was judicially estopped by former inconsistent testimony. However, the trial court correctly granted judgment notwithstanding the verdict, and the Court of Civil Appeals properly affirmed the judgment. 386 S.W.2d 149. The application for a writ of error is therefore refused, no reversible error.
