Description

Opinion delivered: April 12, 1996 On Application for Writ of Error to the Court of Appeals for the Fourteenth District of Texas The issue in this case is whether the court of appeals had jurisdiction over Wen Lung and Chyong Jan Wu's appeal. The court of appeals concluded that it did. 909 S.W.2d 273. We disagree. Because the Wus did not timely file their motion for new trial, we hold that the court of appeals lacked jurisdiction. We reverse the judgement of the court of appeals and dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Walnut Equipment Leasing Co., Inc. obtained a judgement against the Wus in a Pennsylvania court. On August 17, 1990, Walnut filed a petition in county court in Harris County, Texas under the Uniform Enforcement of Judgments Act (UEJA), Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code 35.001-35.008, asking the trial court to domesticate the Pennsylvania judgment and accord it the same force and effect as if it were rendered in a Texas court. Walnut complied with all the requirements of the UEJA in filing its petition. On August 24, the Wus were served, and on September 12, they filed only a general denial. The Wus never challenged the Pennsylvania judgement by filing a stay of execution or a contest to its validity.
