Terri L. Anderson, Petitioner v. Cleo Gilliland, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that reimbursement for community funds expended on a spouse's separate property must be measured by the enhancement in value to the benefited estate, not by cost or the lesser of cost and enhancement. It affirmed the appellate finding that Gilliland did not trace separate funds to the improvements and reversed the portion of the appellate judgment that applied a cost-or-enhancement rule.
