Evans v. Evans
Court of Appeals of Texas
1Opinion of the Court
BLEIL, Justice.
The Estate of Dollie Evans sued Clifton Evans, the eleventh child of the decedent, to set aside a deed and release of lien based on undue influence, and to recover the balance due on the real estate note. Based on jury findings of no undue influence, the trial court rendered a take nothing judgment against the Estate. On appeal it complains only of the trial court’s failure to award it judgment for the unpaid balance on the note together with attorney’s fees and interest. We agree with the Estate’s contentions.
Dollie Evans sold approximately 140 acres of land to Clifton Evans…
