The Kansas University Endowment Association v. R. v. King

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals' judgment, holding that the recorded plat is a copy of the Wood map, that equitable apportionment does not apply, that the plat must be located by aligning its northeast corner with the northeast corner of the J.S. Collins Survey, and that the district court's severance under Rule 174 was erroneous. The Court also clarified the proper procedural distinction between Rule 174 and Rule 41 regarding severance.
