Texas Called and Grabber in Rio Grande Boundary Brief
Washington May 31. Frank W. Clancy for New Mexico files in the supreme court a brief denouncing Texas as a would be land grabber in the suit seeking an official boundary along the Rio Grande. The document cites Texas claims dating to 1836 and notes a $19 000 000 U S payment in 1950 and the Greer county dispute as examples of Texas overreach. It argues the river channel's historical location in 1860 bears on the boundary.
