Colle, 727 S.W.2d 262 (Tex.1987), reversed the trial court and remanded the case, holding that the “longstanding rule in Texas” was that a catch-all clause, like the one at issue, could only convey small property interests that were clearly contemplated within the more particularly described terms of the conveyance and were not effective to convey a significant property interest not adequately described in the deed or clearly contemplated by the deed’s language.
