Saffle v. Jones County
Court of Civil Appeals of Texas · Decided April 6, 1928 · Hickman
5 S.W.2d 185; 1928 Tex. App. LEXIS 317 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Saffle v. Jones County

Opinion of the Court

HICKMAN, C. J.

An examination of the record in this cause discloses that no final judgment was rendered in the trial court. The order appealed from was one sustaining a general demurrer of each of the appellees to appellant’s petition, to which action the appellant excepted, and gave notice of appeal to this court. But the order does not undertake to dismiss appellant’s suit. It has been frequently held that such an order is not a final judgment, from which an appeal will-lie. Dixon et al. v. Sanderson et al. (Sup.) 6 S. W. 831; Texas Land & Loan Co. v. Winter, 93 Tex. 560, 57 S. W. 39; State v. Trilling (Tex. Civ. App.) 57 S. W. 311; Boren et al. v. Jack (Tex. Civ. App.) 73 S. W. 1061; State v. Petmecky et al. (Tex. Civ. App.) 125 S. W. 57; Lanius v. People’s Home Telephone Co. (Tex. Civ. App.) 160 S. W. 304; Kuehn, et al. v. Kuehn (Tex. Com. App.) 242 S. W. 719.

The appeal will be dismissed.
