4 Willson 48 | Tex. App. | 1889
Opinion by
§ 29. Attorney at law; liability of for negligence; petition in suit against held sufficient. Pox sued Jones, as
§ 30. Statute of limitations; 'when it begins to run. Defendant set up, as a special exception to plaintiff’s petitions, that they showed that the cause of action against defendant at the time the suit was*instituted was barred by the statute of limitations of two years; that the note was delivered to defendant for collection September 15, 1886, and that the original petition was not filed until more than two years thereafter, to wit, on September 29, 1888. Held, no cause of action for failure and neglect to collect inured to plaintiff against defendant until after the note became barred by limitation, which was on the 1st of October, 1886; and, this suit having been brought within two years from that date, the action was not barred. The statute begins to run from the time of the breach of professional duty. [Moore v. Juvenal, 92 Pa. St. 484; Machine Works v. Reigor, 64 Tex. 89]
