Land saga in Texas land deal linked to Shivers and Bentsen
In the Texas land dispute, deposition details from September 1952 reveal accusations against Shivers about a 13,000 acre option bought May 31, 1946 and sold December 16 for 450000 to Texas Realty Company. Landergott and four others allegedly sold land at 400 an acre claiming irrigation suitability, which was denied as brush land. The affair connects to Ralph Yarborough running against Shivers and involves figures tied to Rep. Lloyd Bentsen Jr. and his father.
