Mrs. Florrie Nye v. Robert R. Bradford

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts' judgments, holding that parol evidence of consideration for the deed was inadmissible, that the deed was a gift not authorized by the survivor's power to sell, that the joint will was contractual, and that Robert R. Bradford is entitled to a one‑half undivided interest in the property. The Court relied on the deed's face terms, the agreement evidenced by the joint will, and established principles of contract and probate law.
