J. Alton Mills, Petitioner v. Robert Franklin Bartlett, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's denial of an injunction, holding that there was sufficient evidence that Robert Franklin Bartlett satisfied the six‑month residence requirement for the county attorney candidacy. The Court reasoned that Bartlett's combined intent, action, and presence in Van Zandt County established his residence despite temporary absences. Justice Greenhill dissented, arguing that Bartlett had not met the statutory six‑month residency period.
