Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the district court had jurisdiction to issue a declaratory judgment regarding the nature of the savings certificates and that the certificates were not wholly community property. It reversed the lower courts, finding $9,500 of the $10,400 certificate to be separate property and the $16,000 certificate to be community property, and remanded for entry of judgment.
