Texas Supreme Court

T. A. Binford v. Mrs. Lillie Violet Snyder Er Vir.

June 27, 1945144 Tex. 134

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals, holding that Mrs. Snyder retained the equitable title to the disputed land, could recover that title in a trespass to try title action without a special pleading, and that the four‑year statute of limitations did not bar her claim. The Court also held that the quit‑claim deed was not delivered with intent to convey and therefore conveyed no title to Binford, and that equitable estoppel did not preclude her recovery.
