James H. Butler, Petitioner v. L. H. (bud) Hanson, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals' findings that the fence was not a casual fence and that there was sufficient evidence of adverse possession, but reversed and remanded the judgments to correct the erroneous inclusion of 7.34 acres outside the fence. Justice Smith dissented, arguing that no claim of right was proven and that Butler should be awarded title.
