Albert J. Cohen v. Gene Mccutchin Et Al‪.‬

This is an appeal from a take-nothing summary judgment granted Gene, Jerry, and Alma McCutchin in Albert J. Cohens third-party action whereby Cohen, as administrator of the estate of Byron M. McKnight, sought to recover certain drilling costs due pursuant to two written agreements allegedly entered into by the McCutchins with McKnight. The court of civil appeals affirmed after concluding that the written agreements sued upon by Cohen did not meet the requirements of the Statute of Frauds because they were neither signed by McKnight nor did they disclose his identity. 554 S.W.2d 844. We have concluded that the summary judgment was properly granted and affirm the take-nothing judgment.
