• 32 Tex. 460

Syllabus

<p>1— It is not now an open question that a judgment of a court of general jurisdiction, of this State, will support itself, although the record of it be silent as to notice to the defendant; and such a judgment can not be impeached collaterally on the ground that the court had no jurisdiction over the person of the defendant.</p> <p>2— The cases of Lawler v. White, and Withers v. Patterson, in 27th Texas Reports, cited and approved.</p> <p>3— It was not error, therefore, for the court below to admit as evidence the record of a judgment of a court of general jurisdiction.</p>
