Texas Supreme Court

Ella Gates v. Pauline Hensel Asher

June 1, 1955154 Tex. 538

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the warranty deed's description, despite the erroneous "No. 2" reference, provides enough data to identify the land with reasonable certainty, so the deed is enforceable; the Court of Civil Appeals judgment was affirmed in part and reversed in part, and the district court judgment was affirmed. Justice Griffin dissented, arguing the description is insufficient and should be deemed void under the Statute of Frauds.
