J. F. Richardson v. D. S. Cage Company

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court erred in overruling J. F. Richardson’s plea of privilege under Article 1830, exception 4, because the plaintiff failed to allege a cause of action against the resident defendant, the American Railway Express Company, required to maintain venue in Harris County. Accordingly, the Court reversed the trial court’s decision and sustained Richardson’s privilege to be sued in his county of residence.
