Decision Date | 04 March 1953 |
Docket Number | No. 12536,12536 |
Parties | HAMMONDS v. LLOYDS FIRE & CAS. ASSUR. OF SAN ANTONIO et al. |
Court | Texas Court of Appeals |
Glendon Roberts and Dent Taylor, Bandera, for appellant.
Forrest A. Bennett and Lang, Byrd, Cross & Ladon, San Antonio, for appellee.
This suit was instituted in the 57th District Court of Bexar County, Texas, by Lloyds Fire and Casualty Assurance of San Antonio, Texas, and William A. Bedell, its attorney-in-fact, against Ralph W. Hammonds, doing business as Hammonds and Company, for an accounting, the cancellation of the Contract of General Agency, and the Power of Attorney, entered into between the parties, the appointment of a receiver, and for temporary restraining order and temporary injunction. The temporary restraining order was issued without notice, and upon a hearing the court overruled appellant's plea in abatement based on the pendency of a prior suit in the 38th District Court of Bandera County Texas. Upon a subsequent hearing the court appointed a receiver and granted a temporary injunction against defendant, from which judgment Ralph W. Hammonds has prosecuted this appeal.
By his first point appellant contends the court erred in overruling his plea in abatement based on the pendency of a prior suit in the 38th District Court of Bandera County, involving the same parties and the same subject matter. We overrule this point. This is an appeal from an interlocutory order appointing a receiver and granting a temporary injunction, and upon such an appeal appellant does not have the right to have us review the action of the trial court in rendering an interlocutory order overruling his plea in abatement. Such matter can only be heard by us when the case is appealed upon its merits and from a final judgment in the case. Zanes v. Mercantile Bank & Trust Co. of Texas, Tex.Civ.App., 49 S.W.2d 922.
