    A married woman who was a citizen of Texas but lived in the Philippines died with a will that left provisions to her husband. There was a question over what laws should apply - Texas law at the time of her death or Philippine law. The Supreme Court held that Texas law at the time of the woman's death should be applied, as that law governs succession since she was a Texas citizen, and the content of Texas law at her time of death was a factual question for the lower court to determine.

    PHILIPPINE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL BANK, petitioner

    vs. VENICIO ESCOLIN, ET AL., respondent


    56 S 266

    FACTS:

    Linnie Jane Hodges, a married woman and a citizen of Texas, USA, was a domiciliary of
    the Philippines at the moment of her death. With respect to the validity of certain
    testamentary provisions, she had made a will in favor of her husband. A question arose
    as to what exactly were the laws of Texas on the matter at the precise moment of her
    death (for while one group, contended that Texan Law should result to renvoi, the other
    group contended that no renvoi was possible).

    ISSUE:

    Whether or not the Texas law should apply.

    HELD:

    The Supreme Court held that what the Texas law contains at the time of Jane Hodges’
    death is a question of fact to be resolved by the evidence that would be presented in the
    probate court. At the time of her death, Texas law governs, thus, it would be the law to
    be applied (and not said law at any other time).
