Motion Nos. 9986 and 9989; 1301-5794 | Tex. Comm'n App. | Mar 9, 1932
Article 1767, Rev. St. 1925, provides that, whenever the Supreme Court shall affirm a judgment or decree of a Court of Civil Appeals, it shall render such judgment or decree as should have been rendered by the Court of Civil Appeals, and shall render judgment against the plaintiff in error and the sureties on his appeal or supersedeas bond, for .the performance of said judgment or decree, and shall make such disposition as to the costs as they may order.
In this case, plaintiffs in error prevailed in the trial court. A majority of the Court of Civil Appeals reversed that judgment and remanded the cause. We concluded that the Court of Civil Appeals was in error in its findings, but, that court having remanded the cause, its judgment to that extent must be respected, and the remand must stand, Davis v. Meckel (Tex. Sup.) 42 S.W.2d 417" date_filed="1931-10-14" court="Tex. App." case_name="Zachary v. City of Uvalde">42 S.W.(2d) 417; but we think that, the plaintiffs in error having prevailed in this court as they should have prevailed in the Court of Civil Appeals, if that court had been in accord with our views of the case, they should recover of defendant in error the costs of this court and of the Court of Civil Appeals, and accordingly so recommend; also in all other respects the motions for rehearing filed by plaintiffs in error and defendant in error be overruled.
