J. B. Pope v. D. M. Beauchamp

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a transferee of a vendor's lien note who is a bona fide purchaser before maturity is protected as a mortgagee and is not subject to the doctrine of lis pendens, and that the 1905 Act does not enlarge lis pendens to affect such purchasers; the court reversed both the district court and Court of Civil Appeals judgments and remanded for a new trial.
