Description

The suit alleged that mineral, oil and gas interests in New Mexico properties were community interests of the parties, Texas residents, not disposed of by a 1973 Texas divorce decree. The trial court, however, in its judgment of dismissal, found and concluded that in the Texas divorce proceeding both parties had personally appeared and the court there "divided all the property of the parties, wherever located, and set all mineral interests over to Hart Willis, Jr., as his sole and separate property, free of any claim, right or title of Terry A. Willis." Indeed, a certified copy of the Texas decree was filed in the lower court as an attachment to husbands motion to dismiss and it provides almost word-for-word what the New Mexico judgment of dismissal recites. The dismissal was predicated on grounds of full faith and credit, comity and res judicata effects of the Texas decree.
