Louis M. Carle v. Ollie Mae Carle

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a party who has accepted the benefits of a judgment is estopped from appealing that judgment, affirmed that estoppel applied to the properties at 344 Park Drive and 5401 South Flores Street, reversed the lower court's view regarding the property at 605 Guadalupe Street, and held that attorney's fees are not automatically chargeable against the community estate as a matter of law but are subject to the trial court's discretion.
