1Opinion of the CourtJustice Garwood
This suit by our petitioner, Sun Oil Company, attacking an order of the respondent-defendant Railroad Commission, which purports to subject certain truck movements of Sun’s tubular goods between Texas points to intrastate rates, presents questions as to (a) the character of the order as appealable vel non, and (b) its validity.
The trial court, sitting without a jury, struck down the order. The Austin Court of Civil Appeals reversed and upheld it. 302 S.W. 2d 191. Our own holding is that the order is not appealable and that the suit should be accordingly dismissed.
