Syllabus

<p>The statutes of Texas in relation to assignments for the benefit of- creditors, 1 Sayles’s Civil Stats. 61,. 62, 68, Arts. 65a., 65c. and 65s., do not contemplate an assignment of partnership property only by partners for the benefit of creditors, and while such an assignment may be valid as to' creditors who accept its provisions, creditors who do not may levy upon the property conveyed by it, subject, it may be, to the rights of the accepting creditors.</p> <p>There being no brief filed for defendant in error, and no argument made in his behalf, the court confines its consideration of the case to the decision of the questions raised by the counsel for plaintiff in' error, without considering the case in any other aspect.</p>
