OPINION
YOUNG, Justice.
The question presented by this appeal is whether a notation on a check is an ac-knowledgement of a stale debt so as to toll the statute of limitations for collection purposes. Emil Stefek, Individually and d/b/a Emil Stefek, General Contractor, brought suit alleging that Frank L. Helvey, Jr., Frank L. Helvey, III, and Bonnie Jean Hel-vey promised to pay a debt on a construction contract after the statute of limitations had barred such claim. The trial court, in a trial without a jury, rendered a take nothing judgment against the plaintiff. He appeals. We affirm.
