Curtis v. Anderson
Court of Appeals of Texas (2003) | 106 S.W.3d 251; 2003 WL 1832257
TL;DR: A man broke off his engagement and sued for the ring's return. The court held that because the donor was at fault for ending the engagement, he could not recover the ring, which is treated as a conditional gift.
Legal Significance: Establishes a fault-based conditional gift rule in Texas for engagement rings: a donor who unjustifiably terminates an engagement forfeits the right to recover the ring, as the condition for its return (the donee's fault) has not been met.
