Court of Civil Appeals of Texas · Decided November 21, 1917 · Harper, Walthall
198 S.W. 1012; 1917 WL 117 (South Western Reporter)

McKenzie v. Sutton

Opinion of the Court

HARPER, C. J.

This suit was brought by Eliza McKenzie against J. L. Sutton and Lucas McKenzie, a direct proceeding to set aside a judgment to cancel deed and remove cloud and for title to certain real estate. The trial court sustained a general demurrer to the petition and dismissed the suit.

The allegations of plaintiff’s petition are the same in form and as to facts, except as to parties and land sued for, as is shown in her suit No. 729 (McKenzie v. Frey, 198 S. W. 1009), this day handed down by this court, and the contentions of the parties in their briefs are the same as in that case. So for the reasons there assigned, this cause is reversed and remanded for trial upon its merits.

WALTHALL, J., not sitting, being absent on committee of judges assisting the Supreme Court.
