RICKEY WELLS, V. SASHA FORT, SHEENA FORT-SMITH, AND THE UNKNOWN HEIRS OF ROSLYN WELLS
A brief statement of the nature of this suit is as follows, to-wit: PLAINTIFF’S ORIGINAL PETITION FOR PARTITION OF REAL PROPERTY TO CHAPTER 23A OF THE TEXAS PROPERTY CODE.
This lawsuit seeks to partition real property located on Private Road 4214 in Gilmer, Upshur County, Texas. The Property is community property of Roslyn Wells and her husband, Rickey Wells. Roslyn died intestate on February 9, 2014. Upon Roslyn’s death, Rickey retained his 50% ownership interest in the Property and Roslyn’s 50% interest transferred to her children from a prior relationship. Rickey seeks Court intervention to partition the Property. Because of a unique circumstance, Rickey seeks both partition in kind and partition in sale, as set forth herein.
Issued and given under my hand and the Seal of said court, at office in Gilmer, Texas, this the 28th day of May A.D.2026
