State Court Yet to Act on Waters-Pierce Rehearing
Austin reports the Court of Civil Appeals did not rule on the motion for a rehearing in the Waters-Pierce Oil receiver case won by the state. Attorney General Davidson noted no update until the court’s action, and he requested the U.S. circuit court opinion where Judge Bryant was overruled. The state board of education named T Peters of Dallas to teach mathematics and Latin at Denton Normal, filling J A Sanders’s vacancy. The Burgess case from Travis, part of state efforts to cancel Southwestern Livestock Insurance’s charter, was affirmed, with the trial court’s ruling in favor of Burgess and incorporators upheld by the Court of Civil Appeals.
