Carroll Martin and Jane Webre Win Bench Trial Involving Title Dispute
Carroll Martin and Jane Webre prevailed in a bench trial involving a dispute over title to an undivided royalty interest in a productive gas field in South Texas. The dispute involved whether a conveyance between the parties’ predecessors had conveyed a mineral interest or a fixed royalty interest, and whether the parties later entered into a binding stipulation as to the interest. The trial court rendered a judgment in favor of the firm’s client based on both the original conveyance and the subsequent stipulation.
