Nicholas Hanrick v. E. J. Gurley

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts on most issues, holding that alien heirs could inherit, the limitation defense did not bar the plaintiffs, prior judgments did not operate as res judicata, the court had jurisdiction to partition the remaining lands, deeds to Brady were enforceable contracts to select acreage, and E.G. Hanrick’s contribution claim for taxes and costs was permissible; it reversed and remanded only the contribution issue for further accounting.
