Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Gonzalezgreen2 sentences2002See Gonzalez, 968 S.W.2d at 936 (applying the constructive-notice rule when the plaintiff relied on circumstantial evidence). 1999In Gonzalez , the case in which the Texas Supreme Court articulated the length-of-time requirement, the majority opinion does not indicate precisely where the macaroni salad that caused the plaintiffs injury had been spilled, noting only that it was a “heavily-traveled aisle.” See id. 968 S.W.2d at 937 . [FN1] Given the apparent lack of such information, Gonzalez’s ruling that the duration of a condition’s existence is determinative of whether the proprietor had constructive notice of it seems sensible. | 1 | 2 |
Lone Star Gas Company v. Sheanergreen2 sentences2015“To charge one acquiring an interest in realty with notice of instruments executed by persons outside the chain of title would impose upon him the duty of making a general search of every instrument filed.” Id. at 156 . 2015The rationale of this constructive notice rule is that “the only facilities provided by statute for finding recorded instruments pertinent to any particular title are the indices of grantors and grantees and a prospective purchaser or lienholder will have no reason to search for instruments executed by persons outside of the chain of title under which he claims.” Lone Star Gas Co. v. Sheaner, 305 S.W.2d 150, 155-56 (Tex. 1957). | 1 | 1 |

Mooney v. Harlin
green
1 sentence2000To hold that being the beneficiary of an estate excuses one from constructive notice of public records is directly contrary to the Texas Supreme Court’s instruction in Mooney that “[p]ersons interested in an estate admitted to probate are charged with notice of the contents of probate records.” Mooney, 622 S.W.2d at 85 . | 1 | 2000–2000 |
