1. “1. On your standard contract for deed executed between yourself and the Plaintiffs there are no written statements concerning a 715 foot easement granted to the Lower Colorado River Authority. 3. There are no contour lines showing elevations reflected on the Plat of Highland Lake Estates, Section 23, recorded in Volume 58 at Page 22 of the Plat Records of Travis County, Texas. 7. Lot 23052, Highland Lake Estates, Section 23, is entirely below the 715 foot contour line and is within the overflow easement granted to the Lower Colorado River Authority. 8. The Defendant, NRC, Inc., on May 12, 1973, had knowledge that Lot 23052, Highland Lake Estates, Section 23, was below the 715 foot contour line and subject to the overflow easement granted to the Lower Colorado River Authority. 9. In neither the contract for deed between National Resort Communities, Inc., and the Plaintiffs nor in the warranty deed from the Defendant to the Plaintiffs recorded in the Deed Records of Travis County, Texas, is there a reference that Lot 23052, Highland Lake Estates, Section 22, [sic] is below the 715 foot contour line. 1 10. If the Lower Colorado River Authority exercised its rights under the overflow easement and maintained the water level at 715 foot contour mark then Lot 23052 of Highland Lake Estates, Sec-' tion 23, would be completely underwater.”
