Appellant seeks to reverse this case because of the alleged failure of the trial court to file conclusions of fact and law within the time provided by statute after timely request therefor. The assignment presenting this contention must be overruled, because the bill of exceptions as qualified by the trial court shows that the court prepared said conclusions of fact and law before adjournment of the court, and handed the same to one of the deputies in the county clerk's office with the request to file the same. This in law amounted to a filing of the conclusions. Holman v. Chevaillier's Adm'r,
In addition to the foregoing, the court in his judgment fully stated his conclusions upon which the judgment was based, and this has been held to constitute sufficient conclusions of fact and law. G. H. S. A. Ry. Co. v. Stewart (Tex.Com.App.)
The other assignment that the court should have submitted the case to the jury and committed error in taking the case from the jury is likewise untenable for the reason that the judgment recites that, at the conclusion of the testimony, the parties agreed that the case should be withdrawn from the jury and judgment rendered on the law and the facts by the court. The court did not instruct a verdict, but, under the recitals referred to, the jury was by agreement of the parties discharged and the cause submitted to the court as a nonjury case. There is no showing in the record that the agreement as recited was not had; moreover, the assignment of error relating to this matter has not been briefed and does not present a question of fundamental error.
For the reasons stated, all assignments are overruled and judgment is affirmed.
