Barber v. Corpus Christi Bank & Trust

OPINION

BISSETT, Justice.

This is a promissory note case. Corpus Christi Bank and Trust instituted the suit against Robert Choate and W. J. Barber. The cause was severed as to Choate and a judgment was taken against him. That judgment was not appealed. Thereafter, the cause proceeded to trial (b'fefore a jury) against Barber. The jury found that Barber did not sign the note as a “borrower” (Special Issue No. 1), but did sign the same as an “accommodation endorsement” (Special Issue No. 2). Judgment was rendered for the Bank against Barber for the amount due on the note, plus interest thereon.…
