Mary E. Bishop, Petitioner v. Edmund M. Bishop, Jr., Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's award of a Cadillac and household furnishings to the wife, finding the evidence sufficient to infer a gift, and reversed the Court of Civil Appeals. It also held that it had jurisdiction under Subdivision 1 of Article 1728 because the intermediate court was divided on a controlling question of law.
