C. T. Uselton v. State Texas

This appeal concerns a condemnation award in favor of the condemnees, C. T. Uselton, et al, in a partial taking of 2.748 acres from a 5.9 acre tract by the City of Austin on behalf of itself and the State of Texas as condemnors. The principal question before us is whether the trial court erred in submitting special issues which varied in form and wording from those suggested in State v. Carpenter, 126 Tex. 604, 89 S.W.2d 194 (1936), on rehearing 126 Tex. 618, 89 S.W.2d 979 (1936). Holding that the trial court did so err, the Court of Civil Appeals reversed and remanded. 478 S.W.2d 851. We disagree and affirm the judgment of the trial court.
