On Rehearing.
It is insisted that the deed under which the limitation of 10 years is claimed was not filed for record until December 3, 1860, and therefore appellee may not recover to the extent of the deed. It is believed that article 5676, Vernon’s Sayles’ Statutes, does not require that a deed be registered. Craig v. Cartwright, 65 Tex. 423; Simpson Bank v. Smith, 52 Tex. Civ. App. 349, 114 S. W. 445; Bringhurst v. Texas Co., 39 Tex. Civ. App. 500, 87 S. W. 898. In the latter case the court overruled the former cases of Doom v. Taylor, 79 S. W. 1086, and Watts v. Bruce, 31 Tex. Civ. App. 347, 72 S. W. 200. The findings of fact requested are corrected and made to appear in the original opinion. The judgment of the court does not include fieldnotes, further than given in the deed to McReynolds.
Motion for rehearing overruled.
