Distinguished
Distinguished by Garza v. Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, 45 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 1014 (2002)
Garza contends that Spears and Walker are distinguishable because, in this case, the district court actually heard the matter eight days after Garza filed his appeal.
The opinion
PER CURIAM.
On March 26, 1975, Joseph A. Barraco appealed an order of the Administrator of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission cancelling his Package Store Permit, his Retail Dealers Off Premise License, and his Local Cartage Permit. The appeal was timely filed. The judge of the 162nd Judicial District Court of Dallas County stayed the order pending a hearing on appeal and then set the trial for April 4. Later the judge re-set the trial for May 2.
Our decision in this case is governed by our recent opinion in

v.
Spears,
