Text: Robert argues that this is a case of divorce over which this Court lacks jurisdiction absent a dissent or conflict. See TEX.GOV'T.CODE ANN. § 22.225(b)(3) & (c) (Vernon 1987). This, however, is not solely a case of divorce because Margarita has joined and carried forward on appeal an additional claim against Robert for personal injury upon which she prevailed before the jury and upon which verdict a judgment was rendered in the trial court thereby permitting assumption of jurisdiction by this Court. TEX.GOV'T.CODE ANN. § 22.001(a)(6) (Vernon 1987). We granted writ to review the court of appeals holding that there is no evidence to support judgment for Margarita on her personal injury claim, and under the writ of error practice, it is generally held that when our jurisdiction is properly invoked as to one point set forth in the application for writ of error, we acquire jurisdiction of the entire case.
