                      COUNTY, TEXAS

             BRENT C. HOSKINS' JOINDER IN BRIEF OF
         APPELLEES C. CLIFTON HOSKINS AND HOSKINS, INC.

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT:

        COMES NOW Appellee Brent C. Hoskins and presents his joinder in Brief

of Appellees C. Clifton Hoskins and Hoskins, Inc. demonstrating that the trial

court correctly granted summary judgment on the dispositive legal issue in this

case.

        Appellee Brent C. Hoskins joins in the Brief of Appellees Cliff Hoskins and

Hoskins, Inc. as the trial court ordered that the February 9, 1966 Deed from Sam E.

Quinn to James L. House conveying the lands of the 623.93-acre Quinn Tract (Vol.
95, pg. 451) (the "House Deed") did not convey Same E. Quinn's non-participating

royalty interests in the Ray Tract and Hoskins Tract, originally established and

described in that certain November 7, 1963 Partition and Royalty Deed (Vol. 95,

pg. 357) and subsequently conveyed to Hazel Hoskins and L.R. Hoskins by that

certain February 11, 1966 Deed from Sam E. Quinn to L. R. Hoskins and Hazel

Hoskins conveying his non-participating royalty interest in the Ray Tract and

Hoskins Tract should be upheld.

      Wherefore, Appellee Brent C. Hoskins respectfully requests that this Court

affirm the judgment of the district court and that he have such further relief to

which he is entitled.

                                     Respectfully submitted,
