Magee v. Young

This is a suit in trespass to try title filed by petitioner, P.F. Magee, against respondents, F.R. Young and wife, Anna Dean Young, for the title and possession of 160 acres of land in Wood County. In the trial court judgment was rendered in favor of petitioner, but the Court of Civil Appeals reversed that judgment and rendered judgment in favor of respondents. 196 S.W.2d 203.

Petitioner's claim of title is based on a deed to the land in suit executed to him in 1944 by Mrs. Elnora Hoff, to whom her husband, John W. Hoff, then deceased, had theretofore devised and bequeathed all his property.…
