Court of Civil Appeals of Texas · Decided March 25, 1914 · Jenkins
166 S.W. 363; 1914 Tex. App. LEXIS 670 (South Western Reporter)

Southwestern Traction Co. v. Melton

Opinion of the Court

JENKINS, J.

This suit was brought by appellee against appellant to recover damages on account of the alleged negligent killing by appellant of a horse belonging to ap-pellee. Notwithstanding it appears from the briefs of the parties and from the record that there was a jury trial resulting in a verdict in behalf of appellee, still the transcript contains no judgment entered thereon, for which reason we have no jurisdiction of *364 the attempted appeal. See article 2078, K. S. 1911.

It therefore becomes our duty to dismiss the appeal, and it is accordingly so ordered. Appeal dismissed.
