STATE v. MORALES

No. D-2393.

869 S.W.2d 941 (1994)

The STATE of Texas, Petitioner, v. Linda MORALES, Tom Doyal, Patricia Cramer, Charlotte Taft and John Thomas, Respondents.

Supreme Court of Texas.

January 12, 1994.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Harry G. Potter, III, Dan Morales, Austin, for petitioner.

J. Patrick Wiseman, Pamela C. Oglesby, Austin, Nell Hahn, Lafayette, LA, for respondents.

CORNYN, Justice, delivered the opinion of the Court, in which GONZALEZ, HIGHTOWER, HECHT and ENOCH, Justices join.

Equity jurisdiction does not flow merely from the alleged inadequacy of a remedy at law, nor can it originate solely from a court's good intentions to do what seems "just" or "right;" the jurisdiction of Texas courts—the very authority to decide cases—is conferred solely by the constitution and the statutes of the state.
