Mrs. W. J. Duhig v. Peavy-Moore Lumber Co., Inc.

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals, holding that the deed from W.J. Duhig to Miller-Link conveyed both the surface estate and the mineral estate except for the one‑half interest already reserved by the prior grantor, and that the grantor is estopped from asserting title to that reserved mineral interest. Accordingly, Peavy‑Moore Lumber Company obtained title to the entire fee, including the minerals.
