Walnut Equipment Leasing Company, Inc., Petitioner v. Wen Lung Wu & Chyong Jan Wu D/b/a General Merchandising…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the Texas Court of Appeals lacked jurisdiction because the Wus did not timely file a motion for new trial; the original UEJA petition created a final judgment on August 17, 1990, starting the new‑trial deadline. Accordingly, the Court reversed the appellate decision and dismissed the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
