writ of error dismissed for want of jurisdiction April 28, 1920.

Opinion:
FLY, C. J.
This writ of error has been prosecuted from a judgment in a garnishment suit, applied for and obtained by Eusebio Cal-zado against the Mexico-Texas Petroline & Asphalt Company, a corporation, in a case in which Eusebio Calzado was the plaintiff and Gustavo Madero and the unknown heirs of Gustavo A. Madero and Carolina Yillareal de Madero were defendants. The judgment in the garnishment suit recites that plaintiffs in error were nonresidents of Texas, had been cited by publication, had made default, and that judgment had been rendered against them in cause No. B-37286 of the district court, for $20,600.21, and it appearing to the court that plaintiff's in error owned stock in the Mexico-Texas Petroline & Asphalt Company, the judgment was that the stock should be sold and the proceeds applied to the payment of the original judgment herein described. The judgment in the original case of Eusebio Calzado v. Gustavo Madero and the unknown heirs aforesaid was reversed, and the cause remanded in a decision of this court handed down on February 3, 1926, in which the judgment was held to be void for the reasons fully stated therein.
All the matters presented in the assignments of error have been disposed of in the case of Gustavo Madero v. Eusebio Calzado, 281 S. W. 328, heretofore decided by this court, and need not be further discussed herein.
The judgment in'a garnishment proceeding is dependent on the original judgment against the defendants therein, and if that judgment be void or be reversed -the judgment in garnishment is deprived of a basis and falls with it. Edrington v. Allsbrooks, 21 Tex. 186; Rowlett v. Lane, 43 Tex. 274; Horst v. Ins. Co., 11 S. W. 148, 73 Tex. 67.
The judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded.
