289 S.W. 187 | Tex. App. | 1926
This is a motion filed by M. F. Yount, B. E. Quinn, and J. F. Guilmartin, who were the appellants in the above entitled and numbered cause, praying that this court enter an order at this time correcting and amending the judgment entry in this cause as it appears upon the minutes of this court, so as to make the same reflect more clearly the judgment that this court rendered in this cause.
The judgment, the entry of which is sought to be corrected, was rendered and entered on October 5, 1922. By this judgment, as we construe it, it is clear and certain that this court reversed the trial court's judgment on every material point involved in the appeal, and rendered judgment thereon in favor of the appellants. We are unable to see how this conclusion can be escaped, when this court's judgment is construed in the light of its opinion in this cause, which is correctly reported in
We are aware that this court has authority, by an order nunc pro tunc, to correct a judgment entry upon the minutes of this court, where the same is incorrect and does not express the judgment of this court as actually rendered. Coleman v. Zapp,
It follows from the views above expressed that this court is of the opinion that the motion to correct and amend the judgment entry in this court is not well taken, because there is no necessity for the relief prayed, and the motion is therefore overruled and denied. *188
