Texas predicts new tidelands lawsuit after settlement talks
Atty John Ben Shepperd said Texas hopes to settle the tide lands dispute with the federal government but warned a new suit is almost certain. He noted the Justice Department does not recognize the Tidelands Act as restoring gulf lands outside the 3 mile limit and said efforts to resolve it have been ongoing in Washington and Austin. He spoke at the State Bar Association convention in San Antonio. In a separate note, Venezuela recognized the provisional government of Carlos Castillo Armas in Guatemala City.
