Rio Bravo Oil Company v. J. F. Weed

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals, holding that the presumption that a grantor conveys title to the center of a railroad right-of-way applies, that the partition deed of 1901 divided the entire fifty‑two acres including the railroad easement, and that where a deed contains both a lot/block description and a metes‑and‑bounds description, the lot/block description controls.
