Relators appeal from a final judgment in a partition suit which they instituted against the respondent, their father, in the District Court of Waller County. In that action they sought to have partitioned and set apart to them an undivided one-fourth interest in a 334 acre tract of land and to enjoin their father from making improvements on the property during the pendency of the proceedings. The trial court granted a temporary injunction which this court affirmed. Becker v. Becker, 623 S.W.2d 757 (Tex. App. - Houston [1st] (1981). After a final hearing on the merits, the trial court instructed a verdict against the relators on their claim that the report of the appointed Commissioners was erroneous, and it awarded specific parcels of the tract to the respective parties in accordance with the Commissioners' recommendation. The trial court's judgment continued the injunction in effect for a period of twenty days following the date of entry of judgment, so that the injunction expires on July 8, 1982.
