Texas Supreme Court

Eugene C. Jones, Petitioners v. Jared L. Kelley, Sr., Respondents

March 4, 198124 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 269

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts' judgment of specific performance, holding that the four documents constitute a single contract, that their combined description satisfies the statute of frauds, and that presentment was established, entitling the Kelleys to the jury‑awarded attorney's fees. Justice Campbell dissented, arguing the descriptions were insufficient and the contracts should be invalid.
