Hendrickson v. Swyers

Delivered and Filed:November 10, 1999 AFFIRMED The issue in this case is whether the word ""poultry"" as used in the Texas Agriculture Code includes fighting cocks. Because we conclude that poultry does not include fighting cocks, we affirm the judgment of the trial court. Background Andrew and Margaret Swyers own land that has a common boundary with land owned by Alan Hendrickson. Alan Hendrickson and his son, Duane Hendrickson, reside on Alan's land. The Hendricksons have raised fighting cocks on Alan's land for nearly ten years.
