Dalian v. Hollacher
Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
§ 528. Parties; joinder of; rule as to; case stated. This suit was brought by Andrew Hollacher against M. Hollacher, to recover a debt due by promissory notes, and to foreclose a chattel mortgage given to secure the payment of said notes. Prior to the institution of the suit, other creditors of M. Hollacher had obtained judgments against him, and had caused the property .embraced’ in the mortgage to Andrew Hollacher to be sold, and plaintiff in error Dalian, and several others, had become the purchasers of said property, each purchasing portions of said property separately. Andrew Hollacher’s mortgage had been duly recorded prior to the levy upon and sale of the property. Dalian and the other purchasers of ,said property were made parties defendants in this suit, and separate judgments prayed for against them. Judgment was rendered in favor of Andrew Hollacher against M. Hollacher for the amount of the notes sued on, and for a foreclosure of the mortgage upon the property; and also in his favor against the purchasers of the mortgaged property severally, that they surrender the property so
§ 529. Purchasers of mortgaged property; liability of, to mortgagee. To entitle the plaintiff to recover against the purchasers, it was not required that he should allege and prove the insolvency of the mortgagor; nor to set forth the names of the creditors who caused the seizure and sale of the mortgaged property. [W. & W. Con. Rep. §§ 1217, 1218; Wootton v. Wheeler, 22 Tex. 338; Wright v. Henderson, 12 Tex. 43; Baker v. Clepper, 26 Tex. 629.] Nor was the mortgagee bound to notify the purchasers of his mortgage, as it had been duly recorded
§530. Note not due, admissible in evidence when. One of the notes sued upon was not due at the time of the trial, by its terms, but it was provided in the mortgage that upon default of payment of either of the notes, the mortgaged property should be sold, and the proceeds applied to the payment of both notes. It was not error, therefore, to admit in evidence the note which upon its face was not due, because in fact, by the terms of the mortgage, it was due, and it was ■ proper to so treat it, and to render judgment upon it, and foreclose the mortgage lien for the amount of both notes.
Affirmed.
