Cartwright v. Cologne Production Co.

OPINION

Opinion by Justice HINOJOSA.

This is a gas royalty case. Appellants, Lon Cartwright, Lane T. Sealy, Trustee of the Holman Cartwright Irrevocable Trust, and Richard Lucas, claimed that neither the lease nor the gas division order authorized appellees, Cologne Production Company, Robert Hausser, and Lawrence J. Flume, Jr., to deduct gas compression and treatment costs. Appellants contend the trial court erred in granting appellees’ motion for summary judgment and in denying their motion for partial summary judgment. We affirm in part and reverse and remand in part.
