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

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the 1955 deed grants only a reasonable right of ingress and egress to the one‑foot strips and the adjacent walkway, not an unrestricted right to use the entire tract, and therefore reversed the lower courts' judgments and remanded for a determination of reasonable access. Justice REAVLEY dissented, arguing the Court should not overturn its prior holding and that the plaintiffs should be allowed to pursue an estoppel claim.
