Real estate

302 S.W.3d 483; Bright v. Johnson

Dec 10, 2009

OUTCOME: Appellate Court upheld the Trial Court's reformation of the deed.

Seller filed suit against Buyer to reform a deed dated May 2, 2002. The sales contract between the parties called for all minerals to be reserved or retained by the Seller; but, through a scrivener’s e ... rror, the warranty deed failed to reserve or retain the minerals. Buyer acknowledged that he had agreed that Sellers would keep all the minerals and that, even at closing, he still believed they had. Buyer conveyed an undivided interest to his son and his son intervened in the reformation suit. Sellers and Buyer sought summary judgments on their issues. Trial Court granted Sellers summary judgment and reformed the Deed to reserve all minerals to Sellers. Buyer appealed.

Family

170 S.W.3d 167; Allen v Mancini

Jun 30, 2005

OUTCOME: Appellate Court upheld the Trial Court's decision to modify custody to father.

When the parties divorced, they were named joint managing conservators of their child, and the mother had the right to establish the primary residence of the child. The father alleged that, while the c ... hild was visiting him during a summer, the mother interfered with his relationship with the child by telling the child that the father did not love the child and reporting that he had abused and neglected the child. The child had three different residences from 2002 until the time of the hearing. The appellate court determined that the trial court did not err in finding that a material and substantial change had occurred since the rendition of the last order and that modification would be in the best interest of the child. The evidence supported the trial court's finding of alienation or interference with the child and father relationship. Finally, the trial court did not err in admitting a tape recording into evidence, which contained conversations that the father taped between the child and the mother. There was no violation of Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. ch. 123, because, inter alia, the father had the authority to consent on behalf of the child to the tape recording.
