29 S.W.2d 413 | Tex. App. | 1930
This is an appeal from an order overruling a plea of privilege filed by appellant to be sued in Travis county. This suit was flied in 1927, and was tried and appealed by appellant, and after judgment of the trial court was reversed then a change of venue was sought. If a plea of privilege can be waived, it was waived in this case. But if there had been no waiver the court acquired jurisdiction of appellant by joining him with the Red Ball Bus Line, which had its domicile in Bexar county. The court acquired jurisdiction over appellant and the removal of his codefendant from the suit by death, compromise, or otherwise, did not destroy the jurisdiction over appellant. This is too well settled to be open for discussion. Lewis v. Davidson,
Not only did appellant file answers to the petition of appellees, but he instituted cross-actions in the case, taking a very active part therein.
The judgment is affirmed.
