Daughters of Republic win Alamo custodianship appeal
The Fourth appellate court affirms the ruling that the Daughters of the Republic of Texas remain custodians of the Alamo property. The 1911 statute did not alter custodianship, only allowing the superintendent to supervise expenditure of funds. The court notes Texas has recognized the Daughters’ right since 1905 and suggests a writ of error may be sought.
