Constitutionality of Lease Law Attacked Settlers on School Land
The Texas Supreme Court ruling in Reed vs. Rogan upholds the lease law as a general measure on school lands, rejecting challenges based on sale provisions and local notice. It affirms that leases may not be barred to prevent future sales and clarifies that land sales are a public matter affecting the state and its citizens. The Schwartz vs. McCall decision also stands, requiring both original purchasers and vendees to be actual settlers before acquiring additional lands, impacting thousands of titles since 1897.
