John D. Freeman v. J. F. McAninch

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the judgments of the Court of Civil Appeals and the district court and remanded the case for further trial. It held that the earlier judgment determining title to the land was conclusive and that extrinsic evidence cannot be admitted to contradict that judgment. The Court emphasized that parties must diligently assert all claims in the original action, and failure to do so waives the right to relitigate.
