National Resort Communities, Inc. v. Cain
Court of Appeals of Texas
Decided April 12, 1972No. 11890PublishedCited by 8 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
O’QUINN, Justice.
Decision in this case turns on whether the doctrine of promissory estoppel will defeat appellants’ plea that oral promises given at the making of certain written contracts to purchase lots in a lakeside subdivision are not now enforceable because descriptions of the lots were insufficient in the writings to meet requirements of the Statute of Frauds.
The subdivisions are part of a resort project developed on Lake Travis, in Travis County, following creation of the lake by construction of a dam across the Colorado River for operation by the Lower Colorado River Authority.
