Description
The court below rendered a summary judgment in favor of defendants, J. S. Bridwell, Bridwell Oil Company (a partnership composed of J. S. Bridwell and Margaret Bridwell Bowdle) and Houston Pipe Line Company. The parties will be designated as in the trial court. The plaintiffs, J. G. Rountree, Sr., Adele Rountree, a single woman, and J. G. Rountree, Jr., joined by his wife, Jessie Rountree, bring the case here and submit their appeal upon ten points of error, which assert that the oil and gas lease involved was indefinite and uncertain and hence void under the provisions of the statute of frauds; that by reason of such uncertainty of provision and the "methods" (so designated by plaintiffs) involved in developing the lease and marketing the gas produced therefrom, injury has resulted to plaintiffs and therefore the lease should be cancelled and damages awarded, and that the trial court erred in not considering certain affidavits attached to plaintiffs motion for new trial.
