On Motion for Rehearing.
In his motion for rehearing, appellant urges that the sales contract does not comply with Section 22 of Article 6573a, Vernon’s Texas Civil Statutes. The contract specifies that “the seller is to receive the net sum of $20,000.00 and that J. H. Barbee is to receive the .sum of $1,000.00 as agent effecting the sale.” It has already been pointed out that the contract sufficiently describes the land. In the case of Spires v. Mann, Tex.Civ.App., 173 S.W.2d 200, writ of error refused, it was held that a sales contract similar to the one here in*158volved was a sufficient memorandum to comply with the Statute. In our opinion, the holding is quite sound and we shall follow it.
The appellant’s motion for rehearing is overruled.
