City of Dallas v. Crippen
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided December 10, 1948No. 12464PublishedCited by 8 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
HOLMES, Circuit Judge.
The decisive question on this appeal is whether the City of Dallas, under its charter, has a valid lien for ad valorem taxes on personal property effective from January the first of each year. Section 194 of said charter creates such a lien, but the court below held void the provision therein that said lien “shall exist from January 1st,” saying that it conflicted with Article 1060 of the Revised Civil Statutes of Texas of 1925, which, as construed, makes such lien effective from the date of assessment of the property.
The pertinent facts of this case are not in dispute.…
