Frank T. Nagle, Petitioner v. Margie M. Nagle, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals judgment that enforced Frank Nagle's oral promise to convey his interest in real property, holding that the Statute of Frauds bars enforcement and the promissory estoppel exception does not apply. It also affirmed the judgment of no value (N.O.V.) against attorney Allen Isbell because Margie failed to preserve error on that issue. Justice McGEE concurred in the result but dissented from the majority's view on the preservation issue.
