Meredith v. Sharp

Meredith v. Sharp
Texas Supreme Court · Decided June 24, 1953 · Per Curiam
259 S.W.2d 172; 152 Tex. 437; 1953 Tex. LEXIS 464 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Meredith v. Sharp

Opinion

Per Curiam;

Under our view petitioner has no interest, financially or otherwise, which would authorize him to maintain this suit. Yett v. Cook, 115 Tex. 205, 281 S. W. 837. The trial court should therefore have dismissed the suit rather than deny the writ, but since the practical effect of the two orders is the same, no purpose would be served in granting the writ to reform the judgment. The application is therefore stamped Refused. No Reversible Error.

Opinion delivered June 24, 1953.
