Description
This controversy arose when a majority of the members of the First Presbyterian Church of Paris, Texas, sought to withdraw from the Presbyterian Church in the United States and affiliate with another group. The Presbytery of the Covenant, which had jurisdiction of the church at Paris, sought to prevent the withdrawing faction from taking possession and asserting ownership of the church property, and filed suit for declaratory judgment. The withdrawing faction, through its corporate entity, First Presbyterian Church of Paris, Inc., filed suit against the Presbytery of the Covenant and others in trespass to try title. The actions were consolidated and tried to a jury. Upon the jury verdict, judgment was rendered for the withdrawing faction. The Presbytery of the Covenant and those parties aligned with it have appealed. The parties will be designated as in the trial court - appellants as plaintiffs and appellees as defendants.
