Sullivan filed plea of privilege to be sued in Hidalgo county where he resides. Controverting affidavit was filed seeking to. sustain the venue in Starr county under subdivision 14, art. 1995, R.S. Upon the trial plaintiffs introduced in evidence their petition which, upon its face, shows the suit is to recover lands alleged to be situate in Starr county and for damages thereto; also evidence showing the land described in the petition is situate in Starr county.
