Description
This is a suit for specific performance to convey real estate. Buyers, Jared L. Kelley and Olga Kelley and the Texas Veterans Land Board, brought suit against sellers, Eugene Jones and Della Mae Jones, for specific performance of two earnest money contracts for the sale of a tract of land in Shelby County. Trial was to a jury, and based upon its findings, judgment was entered for the Kelleys decreeing specific performance. The trial court, however, granted that portion of the Joneses motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict denying the Kelleys recovery of attorneys fees. The court of civil appeals affirmed the judgment of the trial court. 602 S.W.2d 573. Both parties have filed applications in this court. The Joneses application attacks the judgment requiring specific performance. The Kelleys application complains of the failure of the court of civil appeals to hold that presentment of their claim was made, entitling them to the attorneys fees found by the jury.
