Jurisdiction: United States
Docket: No. 2,497
Citation: 210 F. 163
Opinion
PER CURIAM. The note upon which the debt sought to be proved is founded is barred upon-its face by the Texas statute of limitations of four years. The extensions relied upon to toll the statute having been made subsequent to the time the debt became due, and not being in writing and signed by the bankrupt, are not effective. See
article 3370, R. S. Texas 1895;
article 5705, R. S. Texas 1911. The ruling of the court below rejecting the proof of debt was correct. Affirmed.
