Brick v. Buel

Stayton, Chief Justice.—

In 1874 appellee and Louis Annin bought two contiguous lots in the city of Dallas, on which they paid §500 and gave notes for balance of the purchase money, which amounted to §300.

They soon after divided the lots and executed a deed between themselves which recited that Annin paid to Buel $500 for the part set apart to him, and that Buel paid to Annin $300 for the part conveyed to him.

This deed closes with the following provision: “ Giving and granting each to the other full power to sell, lease, or otherwise devise his said portion of said lots as aforesaid.”
