W. R. Coleman, Petitioners v. Bryan W. Forister, Jr., Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the 1955 Emmett Shelton deed grants only a reasonable right of ingress and egress to the one‑foot strips and the adjacent walkway, and no broader easement rights, reversing the trial court's judgment and remanding for a determination of reasonable access. The Court also overruled its prior per curiam opinion. Justice Reavley dissented, arguing that the Court should retain the broader easement rights and consider estoppel claims.
