Golden v. York

Opinion

ON APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF ERROR

PER CURIAM.

Newton F. Tidwell died intestate survived only by descendants of his maternal grandparents and descendants of his paternal great-grandparents. The Court of Civil Appeals, relying on McKinney v. Abbott, 49 Tex. 371, has held that under Section 38 of the Probate Code, V.A.T.S., Tidwell’s estate must be divided into two equal moieties, one of which passes to the paternal kindred and the other to the maternal kindred. 407 S.W.2d 293. We approve this holding, but another question decided by the intermediate court has not been brought forward for review. The application for writ of error is accordingly

Refused, no reversible error.
