Texas Supreme Court

Angelina County, Texas and Leon Jones, Petitioners v. Sam McFarland, Respondent

January 8, 1964374 S.W.2d 417

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the Court of Civil Appeals lacked jurisdiction because the record was filed after the 60‑day deadline set by Rule 386, and therefore reversed and remanded the appellate judgment with instructions to dismiss McFarland's appeal. The Court also rejected McFarland's challenge to the County's representation under Rule 12 as unpreserved.
