    ZIMMERMAN et al. v. BAUGH.
    (Court of Civil Appeals of Texas. San Antonio.
    Nov. 12, 1913.)
    Appeal and Error (§ 797*) — Motion to Dismiss-Time for Filing.
    A motion to dismiss an appeal, because the petition for writ of error was not signed, came too late, when not filed within 30 days after the transcript was filed, as required by Court of Civil Appeals rule 8 (142 S. W. xi); failure to sign the petition not being jurisdictional.

    Error to District Court, Bexar County; A. W. Seeligson, Judge.
    Action between Bridget Zimmerman and others and W. Pauline Baugh. From the judgment the parties first named brought error and the cause was dismissed without opinion.
    Dismissal set aside and cause reinstated on motion for rehearing.
    Don A. Bliss, of San Antonio, for plaintiff in error.
   TALIAFERRO, J.

This is upon motion to reinstate this cause, which, at a previous day of this term, was dismissed (no written opinion filed) upon motion of defendant in error because the petition for writ of error was not signed by the petitioners or their attorney, as the law requires. We find that no motion to dismiss the appeal was filed within 30 days after the transcript was filed in this court, as required by Court of Civil Appeals rule No. 8 (142 S. W. xi); and, since the failure to sign the petition for writ of error is not jurisdictional, we conclude that the motion to dismiss came too late.

The motion for rehearing is therefore granted, the order of dismissal is set aside, and the cause is reinstated.
