On Appellant’s Motion for Rehearing.
In appellant’s motion for rehearing our attention is called to the case of Texas & Pacific Railway Co. v. Davis, 93 Tex. 378, 389, 55 S. W. 562, 564, in which the Supreme Court of this state, in construing our statute on contracts growing out of interstate commerce, remarks that:
“We do not doubt that the shipment of the cattle was an interstate shipment and that therefore the contract was a lawful one, although the corporation may have been doing business in the state contrary to its laws.”
The last clause in the above quotation seems to settle the only question on which we were in doubt.
The motion is sustained, and the ease is reversed, and judgment is here rendered for appellant for the amount of its debt for which it sues.
