  1. Fort Worth Press Co. v. Davis

    96 S.W.2d 416 (Tex. Civ. App. 1936)   Cited 15 times
    Holding newspaper editorial which charged that candidate for nomination for county judge had, while mayor, wasted $80,000 of taxpayers' money on useless projects, was substantially true although only $17,500 had been spent on projects

    That this is the law, we do not believe any one will question. Following are a few of the many cases which we believe control the case at bar: Quaid v. Tipton, 21 Tex. Civ. App. 131, 51 S.W. 264; Caylor v. Nunn (Tex.Civ.App.) 235 S.W. 264; Express Publishing Co. v. Keeran (Tex.Com.App.) 284 S.W. 913; Enterprise Co. v. Wheat (Tex.Civ.App.) 290 S.W. 212; Enterprise Co. v. Glenn (Tex.Civ.App.) 290 S.W. 806; Ray v. Times Pub. Co. (Tex.Com.App.) 12 S.W.2d 165; Belo Co. v. Fechner (Tex.Civ.App.) 42 S.W.2d 641; Lundberg v. Brownsville Herald Pub. Co. (Tex.Civ.App.) 66 S.W.2d 375. The statements found in the article complained about come squarely within the provisions of article 5432, Rev.Civ.Statutes, as amended by Acts 1927, c. 80, ยง 2 (Vernon's Ann.Civ.St. art. 5432), and the publication thereof is "deemed privileged" by us.
