Osce Goodwin v. Mrs. Roxana Gunter

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a broker is entitled to his contractual commission when he procures a purchaser, even if the owner later sells to that purchaser at a lower price, provided the sale occurs while the broker's contract is in force and the owner has notice of the broker's pending negotiation. The Court also affirmed that appellate review is limited to questions of law and will not disturb the trial court's factual findings, thus remanding for a new trial on the issue of whether the broker's associate was the procuring cause.
