On Motions for Rehearing
WERLEIN, Justice.
Appellants in their motion for rehearing have called to our attention for the first time the fact that appellees did not object or except to the trial court’s judgment with respect to the adjudication and taxing of costs in the trial court. Appel-lees, having failed to object in the trial court, may not raise such question for the first time upon appeal. Carmichael v. Williams, Tex.Civ.App., 268 S.W. 502, writ dism., w. o. j. Appellees’ contention that the erroneous adjudication of costs by the trial court constitutes fundamental error is without merit. Their contention that by attaching to their motion f,or summary judgment a suggested form of decree in which costs were otherwise taxed they thereby directed the court’s attention to their position and registered their objection to the court’s decree in taxing costs, is also without merit. The suggested form of judgment attached to the motion for summary judgment was not in proper form nor was it considered, signed or acted upon by the trial court in any way insofar as the record indicates. No objection was made to the court’s action in not entering it and entering the judgment as was done. Appellees’ counter-assignment of error with respect to retaxing costs is overruled, and the judgment of the trial court is in all things affirmed.
The motion for rehearing of Henry White, and appellees’ motion for rehearing with respect to retaxing costs, and appellants’ motion for rehearing, except as to taxing costs, are overruled.
