Howard & Hume, Administrators v. J. G. Windom

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a new promise pleaded by amendment tolls the statute of limitations until the amendment is filed, that an unqualified acknowledgment of debt in the February 1, 1887 letter removed the limitations bar, and that a vendor's lien is revived when the underlying debt is revived. Accordingly, the judgment for the plaintiffs was affirmed.
