Description
The district court granted appellee Charles Wilson Reynolds ("Charles") summary judgment declaring that he and appellant Gretchen Ann Hazard Reynolds ("Gretchen") are not common law, or informally, married pursuant to Texas law. See Uniform Declaratory Judgments Act, Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. 37.001-.011 (West 1997 & Supp. 2002). By two issues, Gretchen contends that the district court erred because genuine issues of material fact exist regarding (1) when the statute of limitations began to run on her claim to establish an informal marriage, and (2) her affirmative defense of equitable estoppel. Because we hold that the district court lacked jurisdiction to grant Charles the relief he sought, we reverse the district-court judgment and dismiss the cause.
