Attorney General Opinion Influences Hardin County Road Dispute
Texas Attorney General Crawford Martin issued an opinion affecting an ongoing county road access dispute in Hardin County. It states property owners cannot cut another’s fence to reach an unused county road unless ingress or egress is denied. The Jasper Newton Hardin Tyler County group led by E. E. Spell challenges public-rights with fencing and leases, and the matter remains before the county commissioners as talks with landowners continue.
