This suit was instituted after the commencement of such proceedings. “The Trial Court was authorized to take judicial notice of the fact that the delinquency proceeding was still pending and that appellee was an officer (receiver) of his Court. Texas Law of Evidence (McCormick and Ray) 2nd ed., Secs. 185, 177. “The only remaining requirement of Sec. 4(f) is that this suit be an ‘action or proceeding (s).’ By these words is meant any action or proceeding cognizable in a court of law. There can be no doubt that this suit is such an action or proceeding. This we determine as a question of law from inspection of appellees’ trial petition. See Atkins v. Wheeler, 307 S.W.2d 294 , Austin Civil Appeals, writ dism.; Holt v. Wheeler, 301 S.W.2d 678 , Galveston Civil Appeals, writ dism.””
