Tom G. Puryear v. Red River Authority Texas

Appellant, Tom G. Puryear, appealed from a summary judgment which permanently enjoined him from preventing appellee, The Red River Authority of Texas, from going onto appellants land in Wheeler County, Texas, and conducting core drilling tests. On October 8, 1963, appellee sought and obtained a temporary restraining order to restrain appellants interference with the core drilling operations which appellee sought to undertake in order to determine the feasibility of locating a dam on Sweetwater Creek. By agreement, no temporary injunction was issued, and the case was heard on its merits which resulted in the trial court entering a summary judgment permanently enjoining appellant.
