Texas Supreme Court

National Oil and Pipe Line Company v. Richaed Teel

June 16, 190295 Tex. 586

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts' judgments, holding that an unpassed assignment of error is treated as overruled, that option contracts lacking independent consideration are void for want of mutuality, that nominal consideration of one dollar was not decided, and that assignees of such option contracts are not protected as innocent purchasers against fraud.
