Summary
The Court of Appeals for the First District of Texas dismissed the appeal because it lacked jurisdiction over a judgment originating in justice court. The court explained that the appeal from the denial of a writ of re-entry and breach-of-contract claim should have proceeded to the county civil court rather than the court of appeals, and dismissed pending motions as moot.
