A. H. (Arch) Benge v. Clarence Scharbauer, Jr.

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the deed conveyed to Benge a 5/8 undivided mineral interest, while the Scharbauers retained a 1/8 mineral interest but were contractually entitled to receive three‑eighths of all bonuses, rentals and royalties under existing and future leases. The Court affirmed the lower courts except for correcting the allocation of interests.
