The banking commissioner, by his attorney, O. P. Chastain, brought this suit in the district court of East-land county, against the plaintiff in error, Ruttencutter, upon a promissory, note executed by the latter, payable to a state bank then in the hands of the commissioner for liquidation. On November 19, 1924, Ruttencutter filed a plea of privilege to be sued in Dallas ■county. On November 24, 1924, the eommis-■sioner filed a controverting affidavit. The record discloses that the court set the hearing for December 27, 1924, and notice thereof was served upon Ruttencutter by the sheriff •of Dallas county on December 15, 1924. On the date last mentioned the court overruled the plea of privilege, and, no answer to the merits having been filed, judgment was rendered in favor of the commissioner for the .amount found to be due upon the note. Nearly six months later Ruttencutter sued out this writ of error, assigning as error that the •court was without jurisdiction to overrule the plea of privilege and render judgment upon the merits, because no sufficient controverting affidavit to the plea of privilege had been filed. The controverting affidavit, filed as above shown, states that the plaintiff’s cause of action was based upon a promissory note, payable at Eastland, Tex., signed by the defendant, and the cause of action as to venue was within the provisions of subdivision 5, art. 1830, Rev. St. 1911, quoting the substance of said subdivision. The controverting affidavit was signed by Chastain as the attorney for plaintiff, verified before a notary public of Eastland county, whose seal was affixed and whose jurat reads, ‘Subscribed and sworn to before me this the 24th day of November, 1924.”

In our opinion the controverting affidavit stated facts supporting the venue in East-land county, was duly verified by the plaintiff’s attorney of record, and the notary’s ju-rat was in proper form. The objections urged against it by the plaintiff in error are, in our opinion, wholly without merit. The cases which are cited have no application.

Affirmed.
