Texas Supreme Court

W. J. Roseborough v. Ellen Cook

April 18, 1917108 Tex. 364

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts, holding that a deed need not convey title to serve as notice for the five‑year statute of limitations, that a lis pendens operates only during the pendency of a suit, and that a partition judgment cancelling a deed's title does not defeat the deed's effect as notice for acquiring title by limitation.
