Coultress v. City of San Antonio

Texas Supreme Court

Decided June 21, 1916No. 2743PublishedCited by 12 opinions

Original application to the Supreme Court for writ of mandamus requiring the Court of Civil Appeals to certify questions on the ground of conflict in decisions.

1Opinion of the Court

This action grows out of City of San Antonio v. Coultress,169 S.W. 918. Therein the County Court for Civil Cases rendered judgment in favor of Coultress, but the Court of Civil Appeals for the Fourth Supreme Judicial District reversed that judgment and rendered judgment in favor of the city.

Thereupon, Coultress filed therein an application for a writ of error, which application we dismissed for want of jurisdiction, pursuant to the views of a majority of this court as enunciated in Cole v. State ex rel. Cobolini, 106 Tex. 472, 170 S.W. 1036, the case having originated in a county court.
