H. Christian v. M. Jones
Court of Civil Appeals of Texas · Decided October 18, 1933 · PER CURIAM.
64 S.W.2d 1117 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

H. Christian v. M. Jones

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant herein sued to enjoin the appel-lees from selling real estate under the power of sale stipulated in a certain deed of trust.

Appellant based her petition upon the provisions of the -so-called Moratorium Law, which is House Bill No. 231 (c. 102), passed by the Regular Session of the 43d Legislature (Vernon’s Ann. Civ. St. art. 2218b).

This court has very recently decided, in the ease of Malachy Murphy v. E. O. Phillips et al., 63 S.W.(2d) 404, that House Bill No. 231, is unconstitutional and void, wherein it attempts to stay trustee sales of real estate provided for in deeds of trust.

Eor the reasons therein stated, we are of the opinion that the trial judge properly refused the injunction herein prayed for by appellant.

The temporary injunction heretofore granted by this court will be in all things, dissolved.

The judgment is affirmed.
