Synopsis
A Digest Of The Laws Of Texas: Containing A Full And Complete Compilation Of The Land Laws; Together With The Opinions Of The Supreme Court. 1840-44 by James Wilmer Dallam. This mid-19th-century legal digest collects Republic of Texas statutes and constitutional provisions, blending English common law with Texan statutory rules across civil, criminal, and administrative domains. It surveys government structure (Legislature, judiciary), civil process, land policy, slavery regulations, revenue and trade, land offices, public works, and appended acts and amendments. The text emphasizes procedural mechanics, court administration, and the interaction between frontier governance and law, reflecting a period when Texas navigated Spanish legal heritage and evolving American jurisprudence. It also includes cross-referenced material (e.g., Blackstone’s references, Texas Laws, constitutions) and a corpus of cases and annotations intended to aid practitioners and officials. The included portions outline abatement, attachments, appeals, and the organization of county and land offices, situating the Republic’s legal framework before statehood. The work is attributed to Dallam and reprinted in modern editions as original 1840s material.
