Estate of Otha Faye McQuaid Claveria, Petitioner v. Patricio Claveria, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the record contains more than a scintilla of evidence of a prior undissolved common‑law marriage between Patricio Claveria and Carolina Mendoza Claveria, reversing the Court of Civil Appeals’ finding of no evidence and remanding for further fact‑finding on the marriage’s validity.
