Union Bus Lines v. M. S. Byrd

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Kimbriel Produce Company, Inc. was not a necessary party to the plaintiffs' suits against Joe Amberson under Exception 29a of Article 1995, and that Amberson's cross‑action for contribution under Article 2212 is a separate, independent suit whose venue must be determined on its own merits. Accordingly, the lower court's grant of a plea of privilege in Bexar County was affirmed.
