Here’s hoping that Texas stays true to its original independent spirit.

That is what I remembered, no federal land in Texas but as sure as I said that someone would show up and correct me.LOL! I think they own Fort Hood and it is quite large. I saw a post here this week saying that the Feebs owned about 2% of Texas land.
The State of Nevada was coerced into giving up land for Statehood, likely due to the notion that there was Gold and Silver on the part that the Feebs stole.

I would have to heavily modify my Bass boat to operate on the Red River to secure either upstream or downstream any issues... You have no choice, Admiral. You MUST upgrade the beer cooler. Your country is calling.
To: fwdude
he was absolutely CORRECT that the federal government had NO Constitutional authority to do what they did. I watched intently as Wallace was approached by the Marshal Service and demanded that he step aside or be arrested. I said when that happened the Constitution was no longer binding the Federal Government, we now see the result of that day.

Yes, I’m not a racial bigot, and I oppose Wallace’s views, but there are much deeper principles involved here.

Hi there! Yes I remember the drought every time I drive through Memorial Park Houston. The park was decimated and I remember getting no help with the fires that year. I remember being afraid that the dead trees in the park would turn into a massive forest fire.

You probably saw the Wolf Ridge Wind Farm north of Lindsay (NW of Gainesville). Nothing to do with the feds. It’s just really windy there. Home turf.
Texas retained right to all its public land when it became a state in 1845.

Yes, Wolf Ridge Wind Farm, I’ll bet that is what it was. Beautiful country and then you see the wind mills. YUCK!
I took Texas history in 7th grade, I don’t want to tell you how long ago that was. :)

I hope so. They can show the rest of us how a state government outght to be fulfilling their duty of interposition and stop the encroachments of the Federal Government.

Of course a river's course moves back and forth but it is still the border of Texas. What do they think that it is now Oklahoma? We have a friend who is now retired but he was a ranch manager for a family owned ranch even bigger than this one. He now lives in Wichita Falls. The ranches were in the Texas panhandle and north central Texas. I'll bet he knows all about this.

You can bet your friend knows all about it.
Short but informative Farm Bureau-narrated video about the case:

My family has ranched in a county bordering the Red River for almost 150 years. I do not know the individuals involved in this case, but am in total agreement with them.

I sent my friend the story. I don’t know the name of the family he worked for, it might be this one.

It is my understanding that there are NO Federal lands in Texas. It is all private or State land.
I remember confirmng this on the BLM website a while ago. They list no land in Texas that is managed by them.
To: 5thGenTexan
Not quite. There are Federal lands in Texas, just not nearly as much as in other mid-Western and Western states. Big Bend NP is probably the largest single chunk.

What they do own is deeded 'private' property where the owner is the Federal Government. Big Bend, various forts, etc. These are managed by DoD or National Park Service.
There are no Federal lands under Federal jurisdiction like in the western states. BLM does not operate in Texas.
To: TADSLOS
Oh, another big chunk I left off the list is the reservoirs managed by the Army Corps of Engineers.
