OPINION

ANTONIO G. CANTU, Justice (Assigned).

William L. Morriss, individually and as trustee for the Thomas A. Morriss Trust [Morriss], brought suit against Enron Oil & Gas Company [Enron] alleging causes of action for negligence, gross negligence, fraud, and conversion as a result of Enron’s failure to make royalty payments to the proper party. The trial court granted Enron’s Motion for Summaxy Judgment on the grounds that Morriss had failed to file his lawsuit before the applicable statute of limitations barred his claims.

We affirm.
