MEMORANDUM OPINION

Opinion by:

REBECCA SIMMONS, Justice.

This appeal arises from a suit to partition a 1,889.87 acre ranch, known as Ma-tambo Ranch, located in Zapata County. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of appellee GRC Land Holdings, Ltd. and denied appellant Antonio M. Vela Jr.’s motion for summary judgment. Antonio Jr. contends on appeal that the trial court erroneously determined that a trust settlor may deed real property to a revocable inter vivos trust and may subsequently amend the trust to change the beneficiaries. We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
