Harold W. Criswell, Petitioner v. European Crossroads Shopping Center, Ltd., Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the engineering services agreement did not contain a condition precedent requiring a condominium sale and that the transfer of the shopping center by contract for deed constituted a sale, entitling Criswell to his 1% fee; the court reversed and remanded. Justice Gonzalez dissented, arguing the contract was ambiguous and should be tried.
