No. 4475.

Error from District Court, Cass County; Geo. W. Johnson, Judge.

Suit by W. A. Younger and others against W. S. Glass, County Attorney of Cass County, to contest an election in a school district therein. Judgment against contestants, and they bring error.

Cause dismissed.

Carney Carney, of Atlanta, for plaintiffs in error.

Bartlett Bartlett, of Linden, for defendant in error.


This suit was brought by W. A. Younger and others in the district court of Cass county to contest an election held in a certain school district in that county. The judgment was against the contestants, and they seek to have the judgment reviewed in this court by writ of error.

Under our statute this court acquires no jurisdiction in cases of this character by writ of error proceedings. Such cases must be brought to this court for review by direct appeal only. Article 3056, R.S. 1925; Frank v. Sufford (Tex.Civ.App.) 216 S.W. 283.

This cause is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
