Wilson v. Wilson

This suit was filed by Sterling Wilson seeking a declaratory judgment for the purpose of establishing his interest by inheritance to real estate situated in Dallas County. The suit was against his stepmother. The title to the property was obtained during the marriage of Sterling Wilson’s deceased father, Grant Wilson, and Ella Wilson. The cause was tried by the court without the aid of a jury. The controlling issue made by the pleadings and evidence was whether the property was community property of Ella Wilson and Grant Wilson, deceased, or the separate property of Ella Wilson.
