James v. Sam

335 S.W.2d 288, 1960 Tex. App. LEXIS 2192

Opinion

POPE, Justice.

Plaintiff, George R. Sam, sued Floyd James in Justice Court for $90.45 damages to his vehicle as a result of a rear-end collision. James cross-acted for exactly one hundred dollars. Sam recovered judgment for $90.45, and recovered the same amount on appeal to the County Court. James was denied recovery on his cross-action. James has appealed from the judgment of the County Court.

Neither the amount in controversy nor the judgment exceeds $100 exclusive of interest and costs. Art. 1819, Vernon’s Ann. Tex.Stats. Since the amount in controversy is not in excess of $100, this Court does not have jurisdiction and the appeal is dismissed. Sovereign Camp, W. O. W. v. Douglas, Tex.Civ.App., 156 S.W.2d 576.
