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

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the trial court and Court of Civil Appeals judgments that enforced Frank Nagle’s oral promise to convey his interest in the marital home, holding that the Statute of Frauds bars such enforcement and that the promissory‑estoppel exception does not apply. It also affirmed the judgment for attorney Allen Isbell, finding that Margie Nagle failed to preserve error on that issue. Justice McGEE concurred in the result but argued that the error concerning Isbell was not preserved and therefore should not be reviewed.
