JOHNSON, Chief Justice.

This suit was filed by appellees, Tom Reese and wife, Reba Reese, against appellants, The Texas & Pacific Railway Company and Humble Oil & Refining Company, in trespass to try title to a small tract of land located in the town of Hawkins, Wood County, Texas.

Thereafter The Texas & Pacific Railway Company assessed and paid taxes on the lots and blocks only, and sold same by their numbers in accordance with the map.
