M. M. Dikeman, Relator v. Hon. John Snell, Jr., District Judge, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the nunc pro tunc judgment entered on January 5, 1972, which altered the fence proviso of the March 29, 1971 judgment after the original judgment had become final, was void and must be set aside, and it granted a writ of mandamus to that effect. Justice McGEE dissented, arguing that the judgment corrected a clerical error and that the relator had not met his burden, so the petition should be denied.
