NYE, Chief Justice
(concurring).
The controlling question here involved is evidentiary. There were no specific requests for findings of fact made by appellant. Therefore, we must consider all the evidence as a whole, indulging every reasonable presumption in favor of those facts that will support the judgment of the trial court. Where the trial court pronounces a decree of divorce it is vested with broad discretion in disposing of the property of the parties, both separate and community. A review of the trial court’s action here in this regard requires us to determine whether there is evidence to support the judgment and whether the court abused its discretion in the disposition made of the property involved. See Bryant v. Bryant, 478 S.W.2d 602 (Tex.Civ.App.—Waco 1972) and the authorities cited therein.
Generally, separate property will be restored to its owner. Where personal property is involved, the court is vested with wide discretion in making disposition whether it be separate or community. The evidence is sufficient to uphold the trial court’s judgment. The court did not abuse its discretion in entering its judgment. For these reasons, I concur in the affirmance of the judgment.
