Whitworth Estate v. Mangels of Texas, Inc.

TIREY, Justice.

The action is one by a landlord against tenant, brought after end of term of lease, for costs of repair to the leased premises and breach of tenant’s express covenant to repair and to yield up the premises to the landlord in as good condition as same was when entered under the provisions of the lease. (The cause was here on a question of venue. See Tex.Civ.App., 347 S.W.2d 844). The cause was heard by the Court without a jury. The Court entered a take nothing judgment against plaintiffs and taxed the costs accordingly. Plaintiffs perfected their appeal to this Court.
