[RC] Brands & rustlers OT - Dot Wiggins

Interesting that Texas still does it by counties.
That was one of the common ploys of rustlers in the wild old days. Get a place in one county, register a brand just like the ranch across the way, and move the cattle. As long as you didn't get caught moving stock until you were out of the first county , home free.


In some states it is quite possible that the same figures/letters are recorded to more than one person, but not in the same location on the critter.

In TX - brands are registered by county - not state - so there could be a number of brands that are all the same in TX. there's also no way to look them up but to go to the county courthouse and page through the book.


it doesn't sound like a good system to me but that's what it is.
