Court voids tenant land law as unconstitutional
In Austin the Texas Supreme Court ruled the 1915 tenant land law, added to the landlord lien statute, unconstitutional and void. It set rent limits at one third of grain and one fourth of cotton, depending on who supplied land, labor, or improvements. The decision, reached on certified questions from the Third Court of Civil Appeals in Shaun Culberson v. B G Ashford, voids the amendment entirely.
