I'm going to keep saying it, till it sinks in. Here we go. If, which it is true, that James Power's grab of 6,642 acres around Copano and Alamita Creeks is inchoate (false), what does that make us (Becerra descendants)? What does it mean?

Well, it logically entails that all that land would have been considered public land belong to Coahuila y Tejas. Now, presume no one did anything about it. It would have become public land belonging to the Republic of Texas.

Assuming no one stepped in and snapped it up, it would have become Texas lands after the American-Mexican War. It's fine if the O'Connors wanted to purchase it. But they should have seen on the maps that Becerra's were on a large portion of it.

Now, assuming that Becerra was never put on the maps because of treachery and deceit (which it was). Then, like the pinche O'Connors, Antonio could have claimed rights to it outright, because the family had been paying taxes on it for decades and there was legitimate conveyances. In addition the family would have been living and ranching on it for decades.

Just like the O'Connors cry when put to the litmus test. lol
