Jersey Lily Saloon of Old West to Live Again
Texas Senate votes to restore the Jersey Lily Saloon near Langtry as a tribute to Judge Roy Bean. The plan, pending House approval, would have the Highway Department refurbish the frame building to its historic condition by late spring or early summer, preserving the legend of the law west of the Pecos. Governor Roy Bean and the Jersey Lily symbolize frontier justice and Texan history through the restoration.
