Smith v. Deschaumes
Texas Supreme Court
Appeal from Jefferson. Tried below before the Hon. William Chambers. The land in controversy was a tract of one hundred and sixty acres, and consequently the homestead exemption comprised the entire tract. The other facts are sufficiently indicated by the opinion of the court.
1Opinion of the CourtWalker, J.
The appellee brings this suit against Smith and Young, who owned the land and improvements in controversy, at one time, as partners. Smith, by and with the consent of Young, improved and occupied a homestead on the land, and claims to have purchased Young’s interest in the property before the commencement of this suit. If this be true Young is improperly a party to the suit.
The appellee claims to have purchased Smith’s interest in the land under a venditioni exponas issued on an old judgment, affirmed in the Supreme Court, from the District Court of Bastrop county.
