On Motion for Rehearing.
Defendants urge that plaintiff elected to pursue his remedy in quantum meruit and thereby lost his right to recover on express contract. One who pleads alternatively for recovery on express contract and on quantum meruit is under no compulsion to elect, but may recover upon either theory proved. Linz v. Eastland County, Tex.Com. App., 39 S.W.2d 599, 606, 77 A.L.R. 1466; Blalack v. Johnson, Tex.Civ.App., 293 S.W. 2d 811, 819; Fant v. Andrews, Tex.Civ. App., 46 S.W. 909; 17 C.J.S. Contracts § 569c; 15-B Tex.Jur., Election of Remedies, §9; 11 Tex.Law Revue, 218-225.
The motion for rehearing is overruled.
