Dolson v. De Ganahl

Texas Supreme Court

Decided May 4, 1888No. 6162PublishedCited by 50 opinions

Appeal from Bexar. Tried below before the Hon. George H. Hoonan.

1Opinion of the Court

Stayton, Chief Justice.

As the administratrix of the estate of S. B. Spotts, deceased, the appellee brought this action to recover the sum due on a promissory note executed by the appellant to the deceased on December 11, 1882, and due one year after its date.

It is urged that the court erred in admitting testimony offered to show that the appellee was the administratrix of the estate she assumed to represent. It is unnecessary to inquire whether the evidence was properly admitted, for there was no plea put*622ting her capacity to sue in issue, and there was no necessity for any proof on that point.
