SPELL v. GREEN et al.
No. A-798.
Supreme Court of Texas.
Feb. 13, 1946.
W. P. Sexton and J. T. Adams, both of Orange, for petitioner.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The appeal in this case is from a final judgment disposing of the cause of action on its merits, and therefore this Court has jurisdiction 'on the application for writ of error.
We approve the holding of the Court of Civil Appeals wherein it held that where the right to the custody of a minor child had been awarded in a divorce decree and a subsequent suit was brought to reliti-gate the right to the custody of the child on the ground of alleged change of conditions, the venue of the suit was in the county of the residence of the defendant. The application for writ of error is refused.
