        Appeal from District Court, Freestone County; J. R. Bell, Judge.
        Suit by J. J. Beckham and wife against E. B. Chenowth. From an interlocutory order overruling a plea 
of privilege, defendant appeals. Affirmed.

        Boyd & Smith, of Teague, and Rennolds & Rennolds, of Mexia, for appellees.
        BARCUS, J.
        This is an appeal from an interlocutory order entered by the trial court overruling appellant's plea of 
privilege. Appellees filed this suit, alleging that they had by deed sold and conveyed to appellant 320 
acres of land in Freestone county, and had taken as part consideration therefor certain notes which 
appellant had represented to be valid subsisting lien notes on other tracts of land and had agreed to 
indorse and guarantee the payment of said notes. They further alleged that the notes which had been 
given were bogus, that appellant had perpetrated a fraud upon them, and that the consideration paid 
them for the land had totally failed, and they alleged that by reason thereof appellant was indebted to 
them for the value of said land and that they were entitled to an equitable lien on the land to secure the 
payment thereof.
        Appellees' cause of action depends in its entirety upon their right to recover judgment for part of the 
purchase money for the sale of the land and to fix and foreclose a lien securing same. Subdivision 12 of 
article 1995 of the Revised Statutes 1925, provides that:
        "A suit for the foreclosure of a mortgage or other lien may be brought in the county where the 
property or any part thereof subject to such lien is situated."
        If appellees are entitled to any judgment against appellant, they are entitled to an equitable lien on 
the land, together with a foreclosure thereof, since it appears that no intervening purchasers or creditors 
are affected thereby. Luse v. Beard (Tex. Civ. App.) 252 S. W. 243, and authorities there cited. Appellees' 
suit being one to establish and foreclose a lien on land which is located in Freestone county, the trial court 
did not commit error in overruling the plea of privilege.
        The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
