Pecos Men Lobby for West Texas Land Validation Bill
Senator elect L W Anderson and Hari Bell of the Texas Land Owners Association in Austin this week pushing for passage of new legislation to validate title to millions of acres in West Texas. The effort aims to replace the Small Waystaff bill, with no House passage yet though one Senate bill cleared. A large meeting of landowners last Saturday discussed raising funds to finish the fight for property rights validation in Reeves County and surrounding areas.
