J. H. Brunson and Wife v. State Texas

This suit was originally filed in the district court by appellee, State of Texas against appellants J. H. Brunson and wife, and two other defendants (who apparently were not served with citation, did not make an appearance, and who are not material to disposition of the suit), as a result of a dispute concerning certain property, consisting of a trailer house, cabana and other items, following a condemnation suit between the same parties which was numbered 332 in the County Court of Nueces County, Texas. In this case the State alleged that it had acquired title to the trailer house and other items in the condemnation proceeding and that the defendants, Brunsons, et al., had converted the same to their own use, resulting in damages of $3,227.00. Shortly after the instant suit was filed, the State recovered possession of the trailer house from the Brunsons under writ of possession issued out of the County Court, and the States damage claim was reduced to $327.00.
