Abstract

Common grantor filed for record a plat of the subdivision in which defendant and plaintiff both own lots. Plaintiff alleged that the subdivision was restricted. Only three of fifteen subdivision deeds entered for record contained written restrictions, and the subdivision plat which had been filed did not show any restrictions. In an action brought by plaintiff to prevent the defendant from violating the alleged restrictions, held, temporary injunction restraining the defendant granted. The court found a general building scheme of which the defendant had actual notice when he purchased his lot.Womack v. Dean, (Tex. Civ. App. 1954) 266 S. W. (2d) 540.
