Supreme Court of Texas

A court of appeals' judgment, which affirmed a trial court's judgment for damages in contract and fraud arising out of an oral settlement dispute, is reversed as the judgment was contrary to Tex. R. of Civ. Proc. 11, which requires that agreements between attorneys or parties touching any pending suit be in writing, signed and filed of record, or be made in open court and entered of record as a condition to enforcement.
