Bonnie Crowson, Petitioner v. William Wakeham, Jr., Ann Bailey Blanks, Carol Wakeham Honza, Kenneth Wakeham, John…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court's partial summary judgment denying Bonnie Crowson's claim of common‑law marriage was an interlocutory probate order because the broader heirship proceeding remained unresolved, and therefore the appeal of that order was untimely. However, the subsequent severance order made the appeal timely, so the Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for further proceedings.
