No Rehearing of Gasoline Tax Action Denied
The Texas Supreme Court denied a rehearing of the action against Sunburst and Refining Co and others over $50,000 from a two cent gasoline tax. It ruled the original tax unconstitutional, with the 1923 and 1925 amendments failing to cure it. About $150,000 collected but withheld may belong to the state, with the attorney general pursuing civil actions against distributors. The O11 and Texaco companies have handed tax money to the state as the case faces further actions. Albert Angstman and others consider next steps to recover the tax funds due to the state.
