Local Land Case Ends in Texas Supreme Court Writ Denial
The Texas Supreme Court refused a writ of error in Gulihur v Purnell et al, ending a long 200 acre land dispute over interpretation of a pre century grant recorded in Brewster County. The case, tied to a misdescribed 1886 deed, began as a trespass to try title and involved Foreclosure actions against the Texas and St Louis Railway Co and later decisions by the Court of Civil Appeals.
