Texas Supreme Court

Cecil Snyder v. E. L. Pitts

June 27, 1951150 Tex. 407

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court denied a petition for a writ of mandamus and affirmed the trial court’s finding that defendant Cecil Snyder had established a second residence in Dallam County for venue purposes under Art. 1995 R.C.S. The Court clarified that "domicile" in the statute is to be read as "residence," overruled the technical‑domicile rule of Blucher v. Milsted, and held that the evidence presented was sufficient to support the trial court’s judgment.
