The Long Trusts, Petitioner v. Robert M. Griffin, Robert M. Griffin, Jr., Marvin and Marie Ogilvie and Charles W…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed in part the Court of Appeals' judgment, holding that the Griffin respondents are excused from further performance and cannot claim a share of the litigation recovery due to the Long Trusts' material breach of the monthly billing provision, and that the 1978 and 1982 oil‑and‑gas interest agreements are unenforceable under the Statute of Frauds because the property was not identified with reasonable certainty; the case was remanded for a new determination of attorney fees.
