Jacobs v. Jacobsgreen
tex · 1985 · cited in 3 Texas opinions naming this issue, 1992–2023
2 sentences

2023Lynn also contends that 7 Lynn cites Jacobs v. Jacobs, 687 S.W.2d 731 (Tex. 1985), for the proposition that, “[w]hen the court fails to make such findings after objection and request, the court commits reversible error by failing to define what property is properly a part of the community estate or the reconstituted estate and therefore, subject to division.” However, Jacobs makes no such point.

2023Rather, Jacobs addressed the issue of if “reversible error affecting the ‘just and right’ division of the community estate is found, the court of appeals must remand the entire community estate for a new division.” Id. at 733 . 12 the trial court’s award of $15,000 in attorney’s fees in both the enforcement and a contempt judgment is not supported by the evidence.
