Laredo Hides Company v. H & H Meat Products Company

By Thirteenth District, Corpus Christi Court of Appeals of Texas

  • Release Date: 1974-08-29
  • Genre: Law

Description

H & H, in its motion for rehearing (which is supported by a detailed brief), contends that we erred in reversing and rendering the judgment of the trial court because there was some evidence to support the express findings of the trial court, and we failed to presume certain implied findings in support of the judgment. Its position is that we must presume the following implied findings: 1) that the contract was part written and part oral; 2) that the intention of the parties to make time of the essence is clearly manifested in the contract as a whole; 3) that H & H agreed to accept payment only if payment was mailed on March 18th; 4) that the extensions of time by H & H for payment by mail on March 18th and in hand on March 21st constituted a modification of the contract; 5) that the envelope which carried the check was mailed and postmarked at Laredo on March 20th, not on March 18th; and, 6) that the contracting parties orally agreed "that payment must be made at delivery and unless so made H & H would terminate the contract".
