Texas Supreme Court
James L. McGOODWIN, Petitioners v. Patsy R. McGOODWIN, Respondent
June 20, 198427 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 440
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts' judgments, holding that a divorce‑decreed property settlement agreement that obligates payment for a conveyance of real‑estate creates an implied vendor's lien when the purchase money is unpaid, and that the lien is enforceable despite the husband's homestead claim, but limited to the half‑interest sold.
