First Find the CourthouseAnecdotal history of the 83rd Judicial District of TexasBy Mary Katherine Metcalfe Earney Out of Print |
The CBBS recently received a donation of all backstock of First Find the Courthouse from Judy King of Listo Publications. All sales of these books go directly to fund research, production, and printing of Center publications.
First Find the Courthouse is an entertaining resource book for anyone interested in law as well as a social commentary on the character of West Texas and its people by one of its own, Mary Katherine Metcalfe Earney. From the judge who killed his man John Wayne-style on the dusty streets of Del Rio to the judge who lost his pants in court, the history of the 83rd Judicial District of Texas is a lively story of friends and neighbors in the Trans-Pecos West.
