EARL B. STOVER,
Justice, concurring.
I concur in the judgment. I agree that, as a county court, the Jefferson County Court at Law No. 1 did not have jurisdiction over the suit for the enforcement of the lien on the property. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 26.048(2) (Vernon 1988); see, e.g., Loville v. Loville, 944 S.W.2d 818 (Tex.App. — Beaumont 1997, writ denied) (Jefferson County Court at Law No. 1 did not have jurisdiction in suit for recovery of land.). I wish to note, however, the legal adjudication of the debt, over which the county court did have jurisdiction, in my opinion, does not prohibit the appellees from proceeding with a non-judicial foreclosure sale in Galveston County pursuant to the deed of trust.
