Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the appellate court and remanded the case, holding that Texas courts must resolve church property disputes using the neutral‑principles of law methodology and that the trial court erred in granting summary judgment to the Episcopal leaders. The Court also noted that the dissent and concurrence disagree on the application of neutral principles to the trust issues.
