W. W. Curdy v. Carrie Stafford

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the lower courts, holding that a substitute deed conveys title by estoppel, that a deed lacking a precise land description is not void if the interest can be ascertained, that parties deriving title from a common source need not show the bankrupt's title, and that the United States bankruptcy court is a court of record whose certified copies are admissible and that its assignee may sell property without a court order, rendering such sales valid.
