Thweatt v. Wichita County Lumber Co.

The Wichita County Lumber Company sued Ed Harrison and J. D. Thweatt, alleged to be doing business under, the firm name of Harrison Thweatt, for a bill of lumber alleged to have been bought by the defendants, amounting to $2,781.67. Plaintiff also alleged a materialman's lien against certain described land, and sought a foreclosure. Harrison and Thweatt both filed a plea of privilege, to be sued in Dallas county, and plaintiff filed a controverting affidavit. The court overruled said plea. Harrison then filed a motion to quash the citation as to him, which motion was sustained, and plaintiff took a nonsuit as to Harrison, and the case was prosecuted to judgment against Thweatt individually, and from a judgment in the amount sued for, with 6 per cent. interest, with a foreclosure of the materialman's lien, Thweatt has appealed.

Under the statements in appellee's brief and the quotations from the statement of facts, it becomes our duty to affirm the judgment below, which is accordingly done. Reece v. Langley (Tex. Civ. App.) 230 S.W. 509.
