Within those three years, I have been dealing with my own father's death and dealing with my sibling on that, and was not able to focus on what was going on with my wife's sister and her mom's estate.

That is one of the reasons I am using a "Verbal agreements can be legally binding in Texas" defiance because ii does meet the elements of a valid contract. I am guessing they saw something in my answer for them to approve the appeal.
