BLM Eyes 90,000 Acres Of Texas land

“In Texas,” Miller says, “the BLM is attempting a repeat of an action taken over 30 years ago along the Red River when Tommy Henderson lost a federal lawsuit. The Bureau of Land Management took 140 acres of his property and didn’t pay him one cent.”

Miller referred to a 1986 case where the BLM attempted to seize some of Henderson’s land. Henderson sued the BLM and lost 140 acres that had been in his family for generations. Now the BLM is looking at using the prior case as a precedent to claim an additional 90,000 acres.

We are getting involved in this. I doubt much will come of it, and this has been going on for decades.

One of the biggest arguments we have is what it will do to tax structure up there. Losing the tax revenue would seriously deflate local budgets, etc.
