1. ““Where evidence failed to show that son was the agent of his father and in the pursuit of father’s business at time of collision between automobile owned by father and driven by son and another motor vehicle in Bexar county and father lived in another county and there was no contention that he personally had committed any wrong in Bexar county, venue of action against father for son’s negligence could not be had in Bexar county on ground of wrong committed by father’s ‘agent’.

2. ““ . . . There is no doubt a moral obligation on the part of the parent to furnish his child a college education, if it is within his means, however, there is no legal obligation to do so. There is no business benefit or material advantage derived by the parent in having his child obtain a college degree. It cannot be the law that a child, in going to and returning from college and during all the time he is in college, is the agent of his parents in everything he may do in the furtherance of his education.””
