Syllabus

where defaulting defendants failed to make all payments and failed to keep their promise to record a purchase agreement when recording the deed to minerals, the deed was not void due to fraud in the execution; rather, it would be voidable and thus subject to a bona fide purchaser argument by the new mineral owner; no actual or constructive notice of former mineral owner's claim; equitable doctrine of constructive notice is not applicable due to applicability of recording statute.
