Perkins & Floyd, of Alice, for appellant.

James M. Taylor, of Corpus Christi, for appellee.

COBBS, J.

In the district court of Duval county on the 9th day of January, 1922, appellant obtained a judgment against appellee for the sum of $336.04 with the foreclosure of an alleged partnership lien on a Ford automobile touring car, motor No. 22818, alleged to have been purchased with the proceeds of cotton claimed to have been partnership property between appellant and appellee and in pursuance therewith an order of sale was duly issued out of that court by the clerk thereof directing the sheriff of Jim Wells county to seize and sell said automobile to satisfy said judgment.

On the 2d day of February, 1922, appellee filed a petition and application in the district court of Jim Wells county, No. 3032 on its docket, praying for an injunction to restrain the sale of said property on the process issued out of the district court of Duval county, and the judge of the district court in chambers on the same day ordered the clerk of the district court of Jim Wells county where the petition was filed to issue the writ as prayed for upon the execution of the bond for $300. The writ was issued, directed to, and placed in the hands of the sheriff of Jim Wells county, to which county it was made returnable. The sheriff of Jim Wells county executed the writ on C. W. Price in Jim Wells county. The sheriff was thereafter restrained from executing the process, by the order of the district judge until further order of the district court of Jim Wells county at the next term of said court, which would begin on the 12th day of June, 1922, at which time the writ was made returnable.

On the 21st day of February, 1922, appellant filed his application in the said cause in the district court of Jim Wells county seeking to dissolve the injunction restraining the sheriff of Jim Wells county from making the sale of the process issued out of the district court of Duval county on the judgment in cause No. 2241 entered therein on the 21st day of January, 1922.

This application for the dissolution of the injunction was set down for hearing by the district judge at Edinburg, Hidalgo county, for the 4th day of March, 1922.

On the 2d day of May, 1922, the application having been postponed to said date, the same was granted. The temporary restraining order was dissolved, and the cause was continued until the next term of the district court of Jim Wells county.

On the 6th day of May, 1922, appellee filed a motion in said cause in Jim Wells county district court to set aside its judgment dissolving the temporary writ of injunction.

On the 1st day of July, 1922, at the regular term of the district court of Jim Wells county, the court overruled appellant's plea to dissolve the temporary writ of injunction, one of the grounds being the court was without jurisdiction. Appellee urged that the order entered May 2, 1922, dissolving said temporary injunction be set aside and held for naught, and that said temporary injunction issued the 2d day of February, 1922, be continued in full force to await the further orders of the court.

To understand clearly the "merry-go-round" of these motions and orders, we have made the foregoing statement from the record, independent of the statements of counsel in their briefs.

While the original judgment was obtained in Duval county, from which the first order of sale was issued and placed in the hands of the sheriff of Jim Wells county for execution, all other proceedings were had upon petitions, motions, and answers filed by counsel in Jim Wells district court and urged in the said district court or before the judge in chambers in said county upon proceedings lodged and...
