J. B. Coalson v. J. v. W. Holmes

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals' decision that the plea of privilege challenging venue was properly sustained and that the case should be tried in Nolan County. The Court held that a statement of facts in the record suffices for appellate review of a venue plea, that the plaintiff bears the burden to prove an exception to exclusive venue and failed to do so, and that no bill of exceptions was required.
