Description
This is a suit by the owner of the surface of a tract of land, Johnnie D. Williams, against the Humble Oil & Refining Company, the owner of a valid oil and gas lease, for damages to the surface. Humbles lease had been obtained from Williams predecessor in title, and Williams bought the land subject to the lease. Williams alleged a willful trespass, and his recovery is based on an alleged use by Humble of more of the property than was reasonably necessary for its operations. Trial was to the court without a jury. Williams recovered a judgment for $550, and Humble appealed. The Court of Civil Appeals at Tyler affirmed. 413 S.W.2d 413.
