Oil firms blamed as Texas Senate advances land grant bill
After hours of wrangling the Texas senate engrossed the first of the small anti land grab bills by a 21 to 11 vote. The measure would validate patents to lands claimed under a navigable stream theory and protect landowners’ titles long held by the state. Supporters led by Small argued the bill shields land titles in the Panhandle from “land grabbers” amid debate with opponents citing oil company influence. Amendments to extend patent validity failed.
