Edward C. James v. Robert W. Drye

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals, holding that venue lies in Hays County under Subdivision 14 of Article 1995 because the suit seeks recovery of lands and damages to land arising from alleged easements, and therefore the lower court's judgment is affirmed. Justice Smith filed a concurring opinion disagreeing with the majority’s characterization of the suit as not within Subdivision 14.
