On Motion for Rehearing.
Appellant has filed herein a motion for rehearing containing a request for supplemental findings and conclusions. It is well settled, as pointed out in the original opinion, that the failure to discharge a promise of something to be done in the future is not fraud. Further, ‘[the fact of breach (of a contract), standing alone, does not even raise the issue of lack of intention to perform at the time the covenant was entered into.” Turner v. Biscoe, 141 Tex. 197, 171 S.W.2d 118, 119. In view of these rules, we conclude that if it be assumed that Morrison did make the oral agreement alleged, binding himself to drill an eight thousand foot hole, there is no evidence in the record which would support a finding that at the time of the making of said agreement Morrison did not intend to perform the same.
Appellant’s motion for rehearing is overruled.
