C. T. Williams v. J. W. Castleman

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the county commissioners' court was authorized under the Constitution to create a second justice of the peace office in Precinct No. 1, to determine the population of Breckenridge without reliance on the federal census, and that an injunction was not the proper remedy to challenge the court's actions. Accordingly, the Court reversed the trial court's injunction and affirmed the validity of the commissioners' court's appointment.
