In the Texas Republic, Spanish law came to be seen as more equitable than English common law in certain areas, especially womens rights, and some Spanish traditions were adopted into Texas law. This title explores the evolution of Castilian law during the Spanish Reconquest and how those laws came to the New World and Texas.
