On Motion for Rehearing.
The case of Gibbons v. Ross (Tex. Civ. App.) 167 S. W. 17, in which the opinion was *86rendered by tbe Galveston Court of Civil Appeals, is easy to distinguish from the ease now under consideration. The case of forcible entry and detainer had been tried in the justice’s court and had been appealed to and decided in the county court against a party who had an action of trespass to try title to the land pending, and his opponent had no property and could not respond in damages. No action of trespass to try title is pending in connection with the land to be affected by a judgment in the justice’s court. No judgment has been rendered in that court. We cannot anticipate that it will be against appellee. There are no circumstances tending to show that appellee’s rights are imperiled. He may not be ousted from his land and he is not seeking to enforce the title to his land. The title is not involved. The county of Bexar is not insolvent, and appellee has no claim against it. The ills against which appellee seeks to guard himself in a court of equity are purely speculative and imaginary. The facts of the Galveston case do not fit this case, nor is any fact alleged tending to show that they will ever fit it.
The motion for rehearing is overruled.
