Texas Supreme Court

First National Bank in Canyon v. J. B. Gamble

October 18, 1939134 Tex. 112

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts, holding that the 1934 check with the notation “Int. on note” was a sufficient written acknowledgment to toll the statute of limitations, that First National Bank in Canyon was not a protected third‑party junior lienholder under Articles 5520 and 5522, and that the corporate veil of Canyon Loan Company could be pierced where unity of control would cause injustice.
