Texas Supreme Court

Foreca, S.a., Petitioner v. Grd Development Company, Inc., Respondents

July 13, 198831 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 626

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the September 2 and October 19, 1983 writings formed an enforceable contract despite a "subject to legal documentation" clause, affirming the trial court's judgment and reversing the appellate court. The Court emphasized that the parties' intent, as determined by the jury, governs contract formation, and the clause was not determinative of a condition precedent. Justice Robertson dissented, arguing the clause created an unambiguous condition precedent.
