On Motion for Rehearing.
In our former opinion the testimony of W. R. Stout, who was introduced by appellee the North Texas Building & Doan Association to establish the homestead exemption, was set out in full, and it was the only testimony offered to sustain that defense.
In appellant’s motion for rehearing, praying that our former order remanding the ease for another trial be set aside, and that the judgment be here rendered decreeing the foreclosure prayed for, it is urged that since the proof of the homestead exemption depended entirely upon the testimony of W. R. Stout, who has testified fully upon that issue and whose testimony was insufficient as a conclusion of law to sustain the defense as held by us, therefore judgment should be here rendered, awarding appellant the foreclosure of lien prayed for. And since appellee has not suggested the probability of procuring any further testimony upon that issue, we have-concluded that the motion should be and the same is hereby granted.
Accordingly, for the reasons stated in our original opinion, the judgment of the trial court denying plaintiff a foreclosure of the lien prayed for is reversed, and judgment is here rendered awarding the plaintiff, who is appellant here, that relief.
The recovery awarded plaintiff against W. R. Stout, of which no complaint is made, is left undisturbed.
