Texas Supreme Court
Martin Coker Lassiter, Petitioner v. Elmer Bliss, Respondents
November 30, 197721 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 85
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's permanent injunction enjoining Elmer Bliss from maintaining a mobile home on his lot, holding that the restrictive covenant prohibiting "trailer" bars the mobile home. The Court relied on prior decisions interpreting "trailer" to include mobile homes and found no waiver or procedural error. The dissent argued that the 1948 covenant could not have contemplated mobile homes and should be limited to trailers, and would have affirmed the appellate court.
