Frank v. Sufford

Court of Civil Appeals of Texas, San Antonio
Oct 8, 1919
216 S.W. 283 (Tex. Civ. App. 1919)

Opinion

No. 6307.

October 8, 1919.

Error from District Court, Brooks County; V. W. Taylor, Judge.

Election contest between George O. Frank and Ed. Sufford. There was a judgment for the latter, and the former brings error. Writ dismissed.

Terrell Terrell, of San Antonio, for plaintiff in error.

J. W. Wilson, of Falfurrias, for defendant in error.


This controversy grew out of a contested election case. It is brought to this court by an application for a writ of error.

Defendant in error files a motion to dismiss the same upon the ground that this court has no jurisdiction to entertain it, because it can only reach this court by appeal.

Such seems to be the settled law. Article 3065, Vernon's Sayles' St.; Buckler v. Turbeville, 17 Tex. Civ. App. 120, 43 S.W. 810; Jackson et al. v. Butler et al., 38 Tex. Civ. App. 613, 86 S.W. 772.

The motion therefore is granted, and the cause dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
