Yusuf Sultan, D/b/a U.S. Carpet and Floors, Petitioner v. Savio Mathew, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' dismissal, holding that under Tex. Gov't Code § 28.053(d) a judgment of a county court or county court at law on de novo appeal from a small claims court is not appealable to the courts of appeals. The Court based its decision on statutory construction and legislative intent, and noted a dissent arguing the opposite.
