Ellis D. Wheeler, Petitioner v. S. E. White, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the trial court and Court of Civil Appeals, holding that Wheeler's promissory estoppel claim sufficiently states a cause of action despite the contract's indefiniteness, and remanded the case for trial on the merits. Justice GREENHILL, in a concurring opinion, agreed with the result but based it on the contract’s adequacy for damages rather than estoppel.
