Stacey Bratcher v. C. K. Dozier, D/B/A Dozier Tractor and Implement Company

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the trial court and Court of Civil Appeals, holding that the oral employment contract was not barred by the Statute of Frauds because it lacked a fixed term, and that the trial court erred in submitting duration issues to the jury. Accordingly, the case was remanded with instructions to enter judgment for the petitioner.
