Description
This is an appeal from a judgment granting defendants motion for summary judgment under Rule 166-A, Texas Rules Civil Procedure. Appellees, defendants below, filed and served motions for summary judgment upon the appellants and interveners, neither of whom filed counter-affidavits or made any showing other than as stated in their unsworn pleadings. Appellants and interveners complain that the court in granting the summary judgment denied them their right to present evidence in support of their application for a receiver of a dissolved corporation, and also denied them their right to present evidence in support of their alleged claims for damages against appellees who were acting as trustees for the dissolved corporation. They urge further that appellees were not properly selected as trustees and that appellants and interveners were entitled to an accounting and a declaratory judgment determining the names of all stockholders. They also seek a present adjudication of the claims of all stockholders and a distribution of the former corporations assets. They finally urge error by the trial court in refusing to make and file findings of fact and conclusions of law after granting the summary judgment. Essentially, appellants in the trial court sought to oust the trustees and to obtain the appointment of a receiver to wind up the affairs of the corporation, particularly in regard to the prosecution of a pending lawsuit filed by the trustees for the benefit of the creditors and stockholders.
