Description
One of the reasons for granting writ of error in this case was to preserve the rights of the petitioners while we had under submission and consideration the case of State ex rel. Bennett v. Clarendon Independent School District et al, this day decided. Ante p. 542. In that case we were called upon to determine whether the legal controversy between the parties constituted a "contested election" within the meaning of Article 1821, Vernons Annotated Texas Statutes. That Article makes the jurisdiction of the Courts of Civil Appeals final in "all cases of contested elections of every character" except those in which (1) a contest for state office is involved, (2) the validity of a statute is questioned by the decision of the Court of Civil Appeals, (3) the judges of the Court of Civil Appeals have disagreed upon a question of law material to a decision of the case, or (4) the Court of Civil Appeals has held differently from a prior decision of another Court of Civil Appeals or of the Supreme Court upon a question of law.
