For venue of civil actions, see Sections 38-3-1 to 38-3-11 NMSA 1978. When question of venue not jurisdiction. - Where defendant moved for dismissal of action to enjoin him from trespassing on land situated in county in which action was brought and motion was filed in another county pursuant to a rule of district court governing both counties, a question of venue was raised rather than of jurisdiction. Heron v. Gaylor, 1948-NMSC-072, 53 N.M. 44, 201 P.2d 366. Right to have cause heard in court of proper venue may be lost unless seasonably asserted; and in that event, the court of trial having jurisdiction but not the proper venue may render a judgment binding on the parties. Heron v. Gaylor, 1948-NMSC-072, 53 N.M. 44, 201 P.2d 366. Law reviews. - For comment, "The Subject Matter Jurisdiction of New Mexico District Courts over Civil Cases Involving Indians," see 15 N.M.L.
