Supreme Court of Texas.
May 11, 1888.

STAYTON, C. J.
J. W. Jobe was the father of W. P. Jobe, and the former died in 1883, leaving several children. The latter died in 1885, leaving 10 children, who are the plaintiffs in this case, and seek to recover as heirs of their mother an interest in a tract of 65 acres of land conveyed to their father by a deed of date November 6, 1882. Their mother died in August, 1881, and the evidence renders it probable that at the time of her death the land was held under an executory contract to purchase, for there was $125 due on the purchase money after her death; and, although she and her husband lived for

a time on the land, no deed was made to him until after her death. They built a small house, and cleared five or six acres of land. In the year 1872, J. W. Jobe bought 98 acres of land, then unimproved, and on which he made improvements, which increased the land in value about nine dollars per acre. He held the land under a bond for title, and owed about $400 on the purchase money. On October 2, 1882, the persons from whom he purchased deeded this land to W. P. Jobe. It is shown that in May, 1881, J. W. and W. P. Jobe entered into a parol agreement for an exchange of lands, under which the former was to have the land in controversy, and pay the balance of the purchase money due on it, and the latter was to have the 98 acres which the father held under bond for title, and to pay the $400 still due on the purchase money. After this agreement was made the parties occupied the lands which, under it, they were each to have, and on that in controversy J. W. Jobe made permanent and valuable improvements. The evidence tends to show that he paid the balance of the purchase money due on it. This verbal contract was testified to by many witnesses, most of whom were of the family, and there can be no reasonable doubt of its existence or terms. It was shown that W. P. Jobe repeatedly promised to convey the land in controversy to his father, and seems to have delayed doing so for want of proper description of it. He is also shown to have expressed regret that a conveyance was not made before the death of his wife. W. P. Jobe was living on the 98 acres of land, under...
