OPINION
NYE, Chief Justice.
The sole issue in this case is the effect of a renunciation of an intestate share under Section 37A of the Texas Probate Code on the manner of descent and distribution.
This is an appeal from an order of the trial court determining the manner of distribution of the estate of Tom F. Welder. All parties to this appeal are either nieces or nephews of the decedent, with the exception of Amos Welder, Sr., who is decedent’s brother. The trial court ordered the estate to be distributed in a “per stirpes” manner in accordance with Section 43 of the Texas Probate Code.
