Frank v. Sufford
Court of Appeals of Texas
Error from District Court, Brooks County; V. W. Taylor, Judge. Election contest between George O. Frank and Ed. Sufford. ’ There was a judgment for the latter, and the former brings error.
1Opinion of the CourtCobbs, J.
This controversy grew out of a contested election ease. It is brought to this court by an application for a writ of error.
Defendant in error files a motion to dismiss the same upon the ground that this court has no jurisdiction to entertain it, because it can only reach this court by appeal.
Such seems to be the settled law. Article S065, Vernon’s Sayles’ St.; Buckler v. Turbeville, 17 Tex. Civ. App. 120, 43 S. W. 810; Jackson et al. v. Butler et al., 38 Tex. Civ. App. 613, 86 S. W. 772.
The motion therefore is granted, and the cause dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
