A verbal agreement is binding in Texas IF all the terms were agreed upon (price, method of payment, delivery date etc). It also depends if this tractor is community property or seperate property. Where you in a position to make the sale or does it actually belong solely to your husband? That said, many states have special rules for vehicles and possibly for farm equipment - so is this a lawn tractor or a farm tractor??? I would contact a local attorney. Most will give you two minutes on the phone for free. Or look for free legal aide in the blue pages of your phone book. That said, I doubt the guy will actually pursue suing you. If he did, it would be for "Specific Performance" of the contract - meaning, he could force you to sell him the tractor as agreed but he won't get much else from you except maybe legal costs.
