Block on Texas Mustang Island Park Purchase Sparks Feud
UPI reports Judge Jack Roberts issued a temporary restraining order blocking Texas from buying the 3.85 percent acre Mustang Island state park site even as federal funds were approved. The order follows a suit by state Parks and Wildlife Commission chair Pearce Johnson, Rep. Ben Atwell, and Sen. Don Kennard with residents arguing the site was not in the state park plan. The action delays a Dec. 31 purchase deadline from Corpus Christi’s Mrs. Sam Wilson Jr., highlighting a rift among Parks and Wildlife officials and Governor Preston Smith.
