Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas
valid contracts
About 7.5 years ago, 10/1999, my husband sent a signed letter, without my knowledge, to his daughter, my step-daughter, promising to deposit $500/month into a savings account for his daughter�s college. My husband did this for awhile, accumulating about $12,000. But because my husband worked contract, some of the money had to be used between contracts to pay living expenses. We used the $12,000 for a down payment on a house.
Now his daughter is 18 and will start college in Sept, 2007. She is demanding her money and threatens to take my husband to court if he doesn�t give her the money.
My question, is a �promise� letter an enforceable contract in Texas his daughter resides in Texas and at the time, we did also.
Thank you.

Re: valid contracts
There's insufficient information to see if a valid contract was formed. It could be enforceable. It would be worthwhile to hire a lawyer to look into it.
