Long v. Long

Supreme Court of Texas
Oct 4, 1939
133 Tex. 623 (Tex. 1939)

Opinion

Application No. 24441.

Decided October 4, 1939.

Assignment of Error — Jurisdiction.

Where the Supreme Court has, on previous appeal, remanded case to the Court of Civil Appeals to consider certain assignments on question of insufficiency of evidence, and that court did consider and overrule same, the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction to disturb such ruling.

Error to the Court of Civil Appeals for the Eighth District, in an appeal from Dallas County.

This is a second appeal for this case. For statement of facts see this volume, page 96.

Application dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

Fred H. Minor, W. F. Bane, Chas. E. Long, Jr., and Storey, Sanders, Sherrill Armstrong, all of Dallas, for plaintiff in error. Thompson, Knight, Baker Harris, of Dallas, for defendant in error.


This is the second appeal of this case to this Court. The opinion in the former appeal is reported at 133 Tex. 96, 125 S.W.2d 1034. In the former appeal we remanded this cause to the Court of Civil Appeals to pass on the assignments of the appellant raising the issue of the insufficiency of the evidence to support the findings of the jury on certain issues fully set out in our original opinion. After the judgment of this Court became final the record was returned to the Court of Civil Appeals, and that court, after considering the assignments raising the question of insufficiency above indicated, overruled the same. 129 S.W.2d 1206. We have no jurisdiction to disturb such ruling. It is therefore ordered that this application be "DISMISSED W. O. J."

Opinion delivered October 4, 1939.
