Opinion
Application No. 15516.
Decided November 16, 1927.
Employer's Liability — Compensation in Another State.
Writ of error is refused in case of recovery by an employee under the Texas Employers' Liability Act for injuries received in New Mexico, without determining the effect of a previous recovery for such injury under a like statute in New Mexico.
Application to the Supreme Court for writ of error by the Insurance Association on affirmance, by the Court of Civil Appeals for the Eighth District, of a judgment of the District Court of El Paso County on appeal thereto from an order of the Industrial Accident Board. ( 300 S.W. 667.)
Lea, McGrady, Thomason Edwards, for applicant.
R. A. Morton, for Price.
The application for writ of error contains no assignment urging that the claimant should not be allowed compensation under the laws of Texas by reason of having elected to receive, and by reason of having collected, full compensation under the Employers' Liability Act of the State of New Mexico, in which State he was injured. We are not expressing any opinion upon this question in dismissing the application for writ of error for want of jurisdiction.
