H.T. Vondy v. Commissioners Court Uvalde County

This is an appeal from an order discharging the appellees, the Commissioners Court of Uvalde County, from a writ of mandamus on the basis that the writ had been complied with. The appellant, H.T. Vondy, was elected constable for Precinct 6, Uvalde County, Texas on November 4, 1978, and took office on January 17, 1979. Vondy filed an Application for Writ of Mandamus in the 38th District Court of Uvalde County on May 17, 1979, seeking to compel the appellees to set and pay him a reasonable salary. The application was denied. On appeal the Eastland Court of Appeals dismissed the cause on jurisdictional grounds. See Vondy v. Commissioners Court of Uvalde County, 601 S.W.2d 808 (Tex. Civ. App.--Eastland 1981).
