Description
The appeal involves only a question of interpretation of a statute, Art. 6243g - 1, § 13 (a), V.A.C.S., and an abbreviated statement of the facts will suffice to place the dispute in focus. Otis Lee Colson was a policeman employed by the City of Houston for many years prior to his retirement in 1959. He was eligible for pension benefits under the law from the pension fund and such payments were begun in 1959 and continued throughout the remainder of his life. After his retirement, he married the plaintiff below (our appellee) in 1960, and the parties continued to live together as man and wife until Mr. Colson died in 1968. Immediately after his death, Mrs. Colson made application to the Pension Board for the pension she claimed to be due her as the surviving spouse of Otis Lee Colson. This application was denied and she appealed to the District Court of Harris County.
