...BH, slavery may have been banned in 1865, but...<br /><br />I was doing a deed search on a piece of property I own in Llano County. I found a General Warranty Deed dated 6/10/1907. I wanted to quote some of the deed restrictions:<br /><br />"...provided however that the grantee herein nor his heirs shall ever use, or permit to be used said premises or any part thereof as a gaming house,house of prostitution, , nor for the manufacture of any malt vinous, spiritous or intoxicating liquors, nor shall said premises ever be sold, devised, aliened, leased or rented or otherwise disposed of to any persons of negro or mexican decent. Upon violation of any of said conditions this deed shall become null and vod and said property revery to granor, his heirs or legal representative." <br /><br />I thought you might find that interesting. tbWest Texas Insomniachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660539939504153867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35136026.post-61491715500991314202009-06-19T16:27:38.546-07:002009-06-19T16:27:38.546-07:00One year on this weekend about twenty-five years a...One year on this weekend about twenty-five years ago, a couple of us went into a convenience store to get sodas. The guys in the store black, and we were told that it was their holiday and that they weren't going to serve us.<br /><br />They must have been joking, but seeing as there were so few of us, and it was not a part of town that we were normally in, we did not stick around to find out.laughinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999190808736700318noreply@blogger.com
