R. R. Robertson v. H. W. Melton.

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the oral amendment to the written land‑exchange contract was invalid under the statute of frauds and the parties' written amendment clause, that the plaintiff was not estopped from invoking the statute, and that a written contract for the sale of land is enforceable for damages. Accordingly, the Court reversed the lower courts and entered judgment for Melton.
