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.
