Mandell & Wright, Petitioners v. Enola M. Thomas, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's summary judgment granting Mandell & Wright a one‑third interest in the statutory death claim, holding that the contract clearly identified the claim, that Mrs. Thomas had capacity to contract, that no conflict of interest existed, that the power‑of‑attorney clause was not void, and that the attorneys were entitled to the contract fee rather than merely quantum meruit.
