Supreme Court Reverses Trial Court On Land Settlement Test
The Texas Supreme Court held that when school land is sold on occupancy, the buyer's wife occupancy can be considered in determining actual settlement. The ruling, written by Chief Justice Phillips, overturns a lower court on Ed Erickson versus S. D. McWhorter. The decision rounds out several reversals and remands across multiple cases including Henley and Sharp, with dissents noted and motions for rehearing addressed.

Uhr's Right Upheld by Supreme Court
The Texas Supreme Court refused a writ of error in the case Clinton G. Brown v Uhr upholding the Fourth Court of Civil Appeals ruling that a city commissioner in San Antonio holds exclusive power to nominate department personnel. The decision affirms that mayoral nominations cannot override commission control and traces back to a June ordinance initiating the dispute over police and fire department appointments.
