Title:
Indexes and registers, 1892-1922
Description:
The Texas 3rd Court of Appeals has intermediate appellate jurisdiction of both civil and criminal cases appealed from lower courts in the 3rd Supreme Judicial District of Texas; in civil cases where judgment rendered exceeds $100, exclusive of costs, and other civil proceedings as provided by law; and (since 1981) in criminal cases except in post-conviction writs of habeas corpus and where the death penalty has been imposed. During the time period covered by these records, the Texas 3rd Court of Civil Appeals heard only civil appeals from county and district courts in the 3rd Supreme Judicial District. This series includes direct (by appellant) and reverse (by appellee) indexes to cause numbers from 1892 to 1922. These are vowel indexes, and, in a few instances, where space prohibited the continuation of a particular letter-vowel sequence, the entries are continued at the back of the volume. For post-1922 cause numbers, researchers must refer to the South Western Reporter.
