Gulf Production Co. v. Mose Granger
Texas Commission of Appeals · Decided March 15, 1933 · Leddy
57 S.W.2d 1116 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Gulf Production Co. v. Mose Granger

Opinion of the Court

LEDDY, Judge.

It is strenuously insisted in appellant’s motion for rehearing that the Gulf Production Company and its lessor did not prevail against the Humble Company' and its lessor within the meaning of the contract, and that this court should so hold.

It is not within the province of this court to determine such question, as the same was not submitted for our consideration in the certificate presented by the honorable Court of Civil Appeals. The only question submitted to us in the certificate concerning the construction of the contract in question was whether the Kishi suit was settled or compromised so as to relieve appellant of liability under its contract. Whether appellant was in fact liable under another provision of the contract was not considered by us, and we expressed no opinion thereon.

We have carefully considered the argument presented in the motion, but have not been convinced that the questions submitted were incorrectly answered in our original opinion.

We recommend that appellant’s motion for rehearing be overruled.
