Court of Appeals Holds that Husband Did Not Effectively Revoke Stipulation Regarding Disposition of the Parties' Home.
In his appeal from the property division in a divorce case in which conservatorship was tried to a jury, husband unsuccessfully challenged his attorney's authority to enter the stipulation concerning the assignment of 100% of the equity in the parties' home to the wife. In an opinion by Justice Guzman, a former family court judge, the appellate panel holds that husband had waived the argument on appeal by failing to first present it in the trial court.
