Denbo v. Butler
Court of Appeals of Texas
1Opinion of the Court
PEDEN, Justice.
Ardale Madeline Denbo filed this suit to contest the will of her deceased sister, Betty Butler, in the Grimes County Court, pleading only the issues of undue influence and testamentary capacity. The will was admitted to probate, and Mrs. Denbo appealed to the district court, where a jury found that the decedent possessed testamentary capacity and that her will was not procured by undue influence of the proponent, Sam Butler, her surviving husband. Judgment was again entered in favor of the proponent, and the contestant has perfected this appeal.
