David B. Davis D/b/a Davis Motor Company, Petitioner v. Bruce Jefferies D/b/a Jefferies Magic Motors, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a defective supersedeas bond does not deprive the appellate court of jurisdiction, and affirmed the Court of Appeals' reversal of a default judgment entered after the defendant had filed an answer. The Court declined to remand for amendment of the bond, denying the petition for writ of error.
