High Court Rules on Homestead Law in Texas Case
The Texas Supreme Court held that under the state constitution a homestead belongs to the family as a unit, protected from forced sale for debts except specified, cannot be sold apart from law, and only one rural homestead is allowed for a family. A husband cannot hold a separate homestead from his wife, and the land may be either separate, community, or part of the family homestead.
