The actual Box 13 was in Jim Wells county which is next to Duval county. The actors were the famous Parr family who were the political bosses in Duval county hence the name the "Duke of Duval." There is a great book out there by that name, and those of you that want to get a good history about corrupt politics in South Texas it's a good read.

I would like to read that. My brother was born in Duval Country, my grandparents and many other members of my family are buried in Alice, so I am a little familiar with Duval country. I really wish I could recall all the stories my mother and grandparents used to tell about that county
