Description
This is an oil and gas controversy concerning the inception date of royalty payments. Union Gas Corporation (Union) appeals an adverse partial summary judgment and final judgment in favor of appellees, Jimmy Gisler, Jenell Gisler, Ralph Gisler, and Doris Gisler (the Gislers). Union raises seven issues. It asserts the trial court erred by entering facially contradictory summary judgments in seven related cases. In Union's second issue it argues the court erred in awarding 100% royalties when the Gislers were only entitled to their unit royalty interest. Union next complains that companion plaintiffs should not have been awarded royalties before recordation of the unit designation. Alternatively, Union contends its interpleader entitled it to be released from further liability. Union then argues severally of the severance order between the companion cases, that the judgment was not final, and that the award of attorney's fees was excessive. We have already addressed the jurisdictional issue on the finality of the judgment. This issue was heard by pre-submission motion and denied. *fn2 We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
