delivered the opinion of the Commission of Appeals, Section A.
This suit was filed in the District Court of Nacogdoches County, Texas, by Murph Moore, against Texas Employers Insurance Association, to set aside an award of the Industrial. Accident Board in his favor, but the amount of which he was-dissatisfied with. Trial in the district court with a jury resulted in a verdict and judgment for Moore. On appeal this, judgment was affirmed by the Court of Civil Appeals. 46 S. W.. (2d) 404. The Association brings error.
The case is presented to the Supreme Court on various assignments of error, only one of which is necessary to be discussed here.
It appears from the opinion of the Court of Civil Appeals and the undisputed record that the Board made its final award in favor of Moore on February 11, 1981. On February 13, 1931, counsel for Moore prepared a written notice to the Board in which it was stated in substance that Moore was dissatisfied with such award arid would not abide by it and would file suit in a court of competent jurisdiction within twenty days thereafter to set aside such award. The above notice was properly-addressed to the Board and properly posted on the afternoon of the same day, but was not actually received by such Board until the morning of February 16, 1931, three days after it was mailed. The suit was filed in the District Court of Nacogdoches County, Texas, the county where the injury occurred on the morning of February 14, 1931. It thus appears that the suit was filed after the notice of dissatisfaction was posted in the mail, but two days before it was received by the Board. Under such record the Association contends that the suit was prematurely filed and that the district court was therefore without, jurisdiction to try the case.
Under the above record the Supreme Court directs us to> say that the pertinent provisions of Article 8307, R. C. S., 1925, as amended by the Acts of 1927 were substantially complied *304with by the defendant in error and the district court had jurisdiction to try and determine this cause on its merits.
We have read and carefully considered the other assignments contained in the application for the writ and in our opinion the Court of Civil Appeals has correctly disposed of them.
The judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals which affirms the judgment of the district court is affirmed.
Opinion adopted by the Supreme Court, May 2, 1934.
