Chevallier v. Durst

6 Tex. 239
Texas Supreme Court·Decided July 1, 1851·Published·Cited by 3 cases

Opinion

Hemphill, Ch. J.

We are of opinion that there is no error in the judgment. The statute had commenced to run antecedent to the death of the ancestor, and tlie rule is well established that where the statute begins to run it shall continue, notwithstanding either party may fall under any of its protections or disabilities. The death of neither party will impede its course. See the case of Tyson v. Britton decided at this term. (Hart. R., 135; 2 Bibb. R., 537.)

Judgment affirmed.
