The Tommy Henderson thing was back in 1986 in a US Federal District Court in Oklahoma. Try the following or search for Currington v Henderson 1986.
Take care.

Thanks I was missing the other name, and tried a bunch of stuff using the date and Henderson to no avail. This should help. Thanks again.
Ok. Thanks again for the links. That court case defined the River north of the midpoint of the Red River to belong to the OK. land owners.
The part of the river from the midpoint to the southern boundary as belonging to the US Gov’t held in trust for the Indians.
And the land to the South of the OK/Texas boundary as belonging to the Texas property owners.
This court relied on Supreme Court decisions and a prior case James v Langford.
It appears that the language used in the original land deal from Spain cuts the Texas side off from owning any land under the Red River.
Will have to read the other cases to see how exactly the US was able to claim anything on behalf of the Indians.
