Texas Man Sues To Void Deed In Alleged Land Swindle

In Beaumont, Texas, The Southeast Texas Record reports:
  • A Jefferson County man has filed suit against a Beaumont couple and the woman's mother, claiming their conspiracy against him has forced him to lose property that belongs to him. Glen Ray Waldrop claims he is the owner of 3.27 acres located [...] in Beaumont.

  • He entered into what he believed to be a contract for deed with Jeff Allen and Theresa Ann Theal in May 2001, according to the complaint filed Oct. 21 in Jefferson County District Court. In the contract for deed, Waldrop believed the Theals would purchase the property through monthly installments, the suit states.

***

  • In fact, the document Waldrop signed was a general warranty deed, transferring ownership of the property to the Theals, he claims. [...] Waldrop knew nothing about the general warranty deed or [the mother's] role until the Theals ceased their monthly payments in April 2007, the suit states.
