Gray v. Maddox
| Citation | 5 Tex. 528 |
| Parties | GRAY v. MADDOX. |
| Decision Date | 01 January 1851 |
| Court | Texas Supreme Court |
The case of Titus against Latimer a precedent for this case.
Where the District Court entertains a case over which it has no jurisdiction, the Supreme Court will reverse and dismiss.
Appeal from Walker.
The appellee recovered judgment before a justice of the peace, and on appeal to the District Court judgment was again rendered in his favor. On the case presented by the record this must necessarily have been affirmed had it not been determined that the District Court has no jurisdiction over such cases. In conformity with the principle settled in the case of Titus v. Latimer, it is ordered that the judgment of the District Court be reversed, and that the cause be dismissed.
Reversed and dismissed.
