A Bandera County state district judge granted summary judgment in favor of a lawyer, appointed as a trustee under a deed of trust, and his firm, in a dispute over the sale of a Hill Country ranch. The plaintiffs purchased an 1150 acre ranch and then sued the seller and the trustee, for fraud and breach of contract, after the plaintiffs subsequently sold the ranch. PY showed that the plaintiffs’ claims against the trustee failed as a matter of law under the terms of the deed of trust and were barred by the statute of limitations, among other grounds. The trustee and his firm were represented by David Prichard and David Montpas.
