Lowe v. Harrigan
Court of Civil Appeals of Texas · Decided January 31, 1929 · Higgins
13 S.W.2d 958 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Lowe v. Harrigan

Opinion of the Court

HIGGINS, J.

This appeal is attempted to be perfected by an affidavit in' forma pau--peris in lieu of bond. The affidavit was made before a notary public and filed with the clerk.

The record fails to show presentation of the affidavit to, and action thereon by, the county judge of the county of appellant’s residence, or the court trying the case. The making, of the affidavit before a notary public, and simpjy filing same with the clerk of the trial court, was insufficient to give the appellate court jurisdiction. Hugle v. Fritz Motor Co. (Tex. Com. App.) 6 S.W.(2d) 84, and cases there cited.

The motion of appellee to dismiss is sustained.

Appeal dismissed.
