    John Carmichael should be allowed to purchase the Rocking M Ranch (ranch). Although the Statute of Frauds (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Ann. § 26.01 (West 2005)) makes oral contracts for the sale of land unenforceable, an common law exception is carved out for sales in which buyers pay consideration, make improvements, and demonstrate possession of the land. Hooks v. Bridgewater, 111 Tex. 122 (1921). The policy behind the statute itself is to prevent people from fraudulently claiming someone else’s property, but the exception is present in order to protect parties who reasonably believe that an oral sale of land was executed. Carmichael paid consideration and made improvements to the ranch, so only possession is at issue here.…
