Clarice v. Ogden

HIGGINS, J. This is an appeal from an order overruling a motion to dissolve a temporary injunction. The injunction merely preserves the status of the property pending the litigation. In such cases the granting of a temporary injunction rests largely in the sound discretion of the trial court. Crawford v. El Paso Land Imp. Co. (Tex. Civ. App.) 192 S. W. 256; Merrell v. Moore (Tex. Civ. App.) 300 S. W. 953 ; Sutherland v. City of Winnsboro (Tex. Civ. App.) 225 S. W. 63. We are doubtful of the propriety of the court’s action in granting the writ in this case and in declining to sustain the motion to dissolve, but we are not prepared to say that there was an abuse of the discretion vested in such eases. The verification of the petition was sufficient. Houston Oil Co. v. Davis (Tex. Civ. App.) 154 S. W. 337; Simpson v. McGuirk (Tex. Civ; App.) 194 S.W. 979. Other propositions submitted in appellants’ brief have been considered and are regarded as showing no reversible error. Affirmed.
