Supreme Court Affirms Texas Loss Of Gulf Island Title
The Texas Supreme Court affirms lower court rulings denying the State title to a Gulf of Mexico island. The suit, tied to Alberto of Travis County and 245 others, traces ownership through Nicolas Balti and Jose Baili, granted by the governor of Alipas, Mexico, before Texas joined the republic. A ship sinking ended the certificate of title amid the dispute.
