Refused to Surrender Governorship of Texas
The first litigation involving Texas civil or military government began in 1736 when Spanish authorities appointed a new governor and the incumbent refused to relinquish office. Governor Sandoval, installed in 1734, moved Texas capital to San Antonio and fortified the town. In 1786 Don Franquis arrived to assume office, arrested Sandoval, and charged him with delinquencies, defalcations, and unlawfully moving the capital, triggering a long dispute between France and Spain.
