Description
The respondents, Thelma Erigan, a widow, Armeen Norah Erigan Stone and husband, Charles C. Stone, brought suit against Sirtex Oil Industries, Inc. alleging that they were the owners of the West one-third of Lot No. 40 of the H. B. Sheppard Farm Lots subdivision of lands in Nueces County, Texas, and entitled to possession thereof. They alleged that N. Erigan and wife, Myrtle Erigan, had executed an oil and gas mining lease covering said West one-third of Lot No. 40 to Shasta Drilling Company on December 22, 1932, and thereafter on June 17, 1949, N. Erigan and Armeen Erigan executed a surface lease covering the premises to Renwar Oil Corporation. The legal controversy involved in this suit relates to this surface lease. The Erigan plaintiffs conceded that the oil and gas mining lease is in force and effect, but alleged that the surface lease had terminated and that Sirtex was in effect a trespasser upon plaintiffs lands. The trial court directed a verdict for Sirtex. The Court of Civil Appeals reversed this judgment and remanded the case for another trial. 393 S.W.2d 836. For the reasons hereinafter set out, we affirm the judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals.
