Description
This is a trespass to try title case involving three tracts of land and turning on the construction and validity of three legal instruments: (1) a deed to the mortgagor; (2) a deed of trust; and (3) a trustees deed conveying the three tracts of land to the mortgagee. American Savings and Loan Association of Houston, the mortgagee, brought this action against several claimants, including the mortgagors (Meyer Jacobson and T. S. Kent), and the parties through whom the mortgagors claimed title (TWI Development Company and Mary Ann Musick, individually and as administratrix of the estate of her husband, Levoy Musick, deceased). The trial court instructed a verdict awarding one tract, 618.7 acres, to American Savings, one tract, 41.4305 acres, to Mary Ann Musick, individually and as administratrix of the estate of Levoy Musick, deceased, and one tract, 16.6 acres, to TWI Development Company. The Houston Court of Civil Appeals [14th Dist.] affirmed the trial courts award of the two smaller tracts but reversed the judgment as to the 618.7-acre tract and remanded that portion of the case. 517 S.W.2d 627. We reverse the judgment of the court of civil appeals and affirm that of the trial court.
