Texas Supreme Court

Robert Lee Jensen, Petitioner v. Burlene Parks Jensen, Respondent

February 29, 198427 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 256

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the community may be entitled to reimbursement for the value of the time, toil and talent the husband expended to increase the value of his pre‑marital stock, less the compensation he received, and remanded for the trial court to determine any such amount. Justice Robertson concurred, noting the lack of explanation for the remand despite the plaintiff’s failure to plead reimbursement.
