Description
This is the second appeal from a suit for divorce filed in 1975 by Mildred Austin. At the time of the trial Mrs. Austin was seriously ill and was unable to attend. Following a trial to the court, the judge announced in open court the manner in which the property was to be divided. Mrs. Austin died before a written decree was signed. Mr. Austin filed a plea in abatement and the trial court dismissed the divorce suit. On appeal by Mrs. Austins legal representatives, the court of civil appeals reversed the dismissal order, holding that the divorce judgment had been rendered before Mrs. Austin died, and the divorce action did not abate upon her death. The cause was remanded with instructions to the trial court to render a written judgment either granting or denying the divorce. Austin v. Austin, 553 S.W.2d 9 (Tex. Civ. App.--Eastland 1977, writ dismd w.o.j.).
