Young v. City of Colorado
Court of Appeals of Texas
Appeal from District Court, Comanche County; W. W. Beall, Judge; Action by William H. Young against the City of Colorado. From a judgment for defendant, plaintiff appeals.
1Opinion of the Court
William H. Young instituted this suit against the city of Colorado to revive a judgment against a former municipal corporation, known as the city of Colorado and to which the defendant city is a successor, and to compel it, by writ of mandamus, to levy taxes for the payment of that judgment. Judgment was rendered in favor of the defendant, and the plaintiff has appealed.
The trial was by the judge without the aid of a jury, and findings of fact and conclusions of law appear in the record. The correctness of the findings of fact are not challenged by either party.
