Decree Authorizing Governor to Appoint a Superior Court Judge in Texas

1834 Decree from the State of Coahuila and Texas [Texas]. Vidaurri y Villesenor, Francisco Vidaurri. [Decree Authorizing Governor Vidaurri y Villesenor to Appoint a Superior Court Judge in Texas]. Monclova, May 5, 1834. 12" x 8-1/2" broadside with heading: Gobierno Supremo del Estado Libre de Coahuila y Tejas. Signed in type: Jose Miguel Falcon, Secretario. Untrimmed edges, light toning. A notably well-preserved copy. $750. * One of the grievances of the Texans in the period of 1832-1833 was with the administration of justice in the province, which declared its independence in 1835. It seems possible this action to promptly replace a judge during the Congressional recess may have been, in part, to respond to those concerns. No copies listed on OCLC. Kimball, Laws and Decrees of the State of Coahuila and Texas 286.
