270 S.W. 1042 | Tex. App. | 1925
It is well settled that the Court of Civil Appeals, in its review of rulings by the trial court, is limited to errors properly assigned *1043 and unassigned errors in law apparent on the face of the record; errors of the latter nature being usually termed "fundamental errors." Articles 1607 and 1612, R.S. Complete Texas Statutes 1920.
The decisions to this effect are numerous. Among them are Searcy v. Grant,
In the present case we are therefore limited to those errors, if any, which are fundamental in their nature. It is asserted by appellant that the errors which it presents are of this character. In this we do not concur. However, we have carefully considered the briefs filed by the parties and think, upon the record presented, there is no error of any character in that portion of the judgment complained of by appellant; but if mistaken in that view we are clearly of the opinion there is no error which can be considered in the absence of a proper assignment. This latter view is sustained by the cases above cited and many others. Some of them are as follows: Wilson v. Johnson,
For the reason indicated, the judgment is affirmed.
