Appeal from an interlocutory order overruling a plea of privilege filed by appellant, seeking to change the venue of the suit from Dallas county to Harris county, where appellant resided. The only question in the case is whether the evidence will support a finding that the suit was based upon a contract in writing to be performed in part in Dallas county. The suit was for breach of contract for failure to deliver two shipments of maize heads purchased by ap-pellee from appellant.
We have reached the conclusion that the writings constituting the agreements of the parties in effect guarantee within 2 per cent, the weights of the commodity sold at Dallas as the point of destination, and that therefore the decision is ruled by that in Scott v. Grain Co., 113 Tex. 127, 252 S. W. 164, and the judgment of the trial court should be affirmed.
The contracts were originally made over the telephone between appellee and a broker at Houston, Beatty-Archer Co., Inc., subject to confirmation. The broker mailed to the appellant and appellee each a written confirmation. Appellant then mailed a written confirmation to appellee, which appellee in turn confirmed in writing. With reference to one of these shipments these writings were as follows:
Broker’s confirmation:
“Confirmation — Buyer’s Copy. No. 57. Beatty-Archer Co., Inc., Brokers and Manufacturers’ Agents, Room 429. First National Bank Building, Houston, Tex., Sept. 13, 1923. Sold to H. H.

All orders subject to confirmation. Beatty-Archer Co., Inc., per W. R. Archer.”
Appellant’s confirmation:
“To Deliveries on Confirmation. Shipped By Quantity. Car Numbers. Charge No. Destination: Dallas, unless otherwise advised. Ross-Carter Grain Co., Successors to Thompson-Graee Co., 2020 Conti Street, P. O. Box 311, Houston, Texas, Sept. 13, 1923. Confirmation No. 1442. H. H. Wilson Co., Dallas, Texas — Dear Sir (s): As per Beatty-Archer Co., we beg to confirm sale to you of the following: Commodity: Maize heads, sound, dry, and reasonably heavy. Quantity: Ten cars.

It is agreed that all claims and differences under this contract are due and payable at Houston, Texas. Yours very truly. Ross-Carter Grain Co., Successors Thompson-Grace Co., by B. C. Ross.”
■ Appellee’s confirmation:
“Dallas, Texas, Sept. 17, 1923. Ross-Carter Co., Houston, Texas — Gentlemen: Your confirmation No. 1442 received and correct. Yours very truly, H. H. Watson Company, H. H. Watson. HHW-WM.”
*240The writings with reference' to the other shipment are substantially the same as those above quoted, except that in appellant’s com firmation under the heading “Destination” were the words, “To be Furnished,” in writing, followed by the word, “Dallas,” which was typewritten.
It is not necessary to discuss the effect of this change in language with reference to destination, as jurisdiction was properly laid in Dallas if either contract was performable there according to a proper construction of its written terms. The three writings together constitute the contract. The broker’s confirmation provided that the terms should be “Arrival draft, inspection allowed. Wts. guaranteed within 2 per cent.” This could have no other meaning than that a draft would be drawn on the purchaser for the purchase price, that the purchaser would be allowed to inspect the shipment before accepting itand that the weights at destination, wherever that might be, were guaranteed within 2 per cent. Appellant’s confirmation designated the destination as “Dallas, unless otherwise advised,” and additionally, under the head of “Terms,” stated, “Grades as above; weights within 2 per cent.”
The only difference between this contract and the one in Scott v. Grain Co., above, is that in the latter case the contract expressly provided that the weights were guaranteed' “at destination,” whereas the guaranty in the present case is simply of “weights guaranteed within 2 per cent.” We think there is no serious difficulty in arriving at the terms of this guarantee. This agreement expressly gave the destination as Dallas and allowed Inspection, which unquestionably was at destination. Since the contract was expressly for a shipment of maize heads to Dallas, the residence of the purchaser, the guaranty of weights would necessarily import that the point of determining the weights for the purpose of the guaranty was the point to which the shipment was destined.
The provision in appellant’s confirmation “that all claims and differences under this contract are due and payable at Houston, Texas,” does not militate against the conclusion that the contract was performable in part in Dallas. To paraphrase the language of Scott v. Grain Co., above,’ appellants agreed to deliver or cause to be delivered at Dallas the quantity (by weight) within 2 per cent, of the commodity contracted to be sold, it the intention of appellant by this provision was to lay the venue of any action on the contract exclusively in Harris county, it would have been void to that extent. International Travelers’ Ass’n v. Branum, 109 Tex. 543, 212 S. W. 630.
We think the trial court correctly construed the writings and retained jurisdiction of the case in Dallas county.
The trial court’s judgment is affirmed. Affirmed.
