Phil. H. Pierce Company v. Royal R. Watkins, District Judge

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the judgment entered on June 28, 1923 became final under Chapter 105 of the General Laws because no timely motion for new trial was filed and more than thirty days elapsed, rendering the district judge's order granting a new trial void. Accordingly, the Court granted a writ of mandamus directing the judge to vacate his order and give effect to the judgment.
