Coffman v. National Motor Products Co.

The National Motor Products Company, a nonresident corporation, sued A. L. Coffman in a, justice court of precinct 1, Dallas county, Tex., 'in an action of debt to recover less than $100, and on March 19, 1926, obtained judgment. On the same day Coffman moved for a new trial, and when the term of court ended, on April 11,1926 the motion was pending — hence was overruled by operation of law on that date. See McKean v.
