1Opinion of the Court
REYNOLDS, Justice.
A take-nothing judgment was rendered in this action for the breach of an antenup-tial agreement filed by the lineal descendants of the first deceased signer against the estate of the other deceased signer. In appealing, plaintiffs contend that the law of Oklahoma, where the agreement was executed, is applicable to sanction recovery rather than the law of Texas, the only place designated for performance, which defeats their recovery. The facts underlying the action invoke the application of Texas law. Affirmed.
