This original Republic of Texas document certified that the named individual was entitled to buy one League and one Labor of Texas land. The price varied from a total of $1.20 to $3.50, depending on the quality of the surveyed tract.

To encourage settlers to move to Texas and to earn premiums of additional land for themselves, the early Texas empresarios used the Mexican system of land allocation established in 1823. A Labor of land consisted of 177 acres and was to be farmed while a league was 4,428 acres and was for raising cattle. The settler who wished to both farm and ranch could claim both. There were no taxes for the first six years and for the second period of six years the land was to be taxed at only half of the published rate. After three years residence if the settler was married and self supporting he and his family became naturalized citizens.

“Excellent!”

"I have been purchasing beautiful handcrafted historic flags from your company since 1985. These celebrated treasures have adorned my office walls through the years. Thank you for your exemplary products, service, delivery and personal attention to detail."

The Honorable George Chandler, Lufkin, Texas

“Impressive!”

"As an old trial lawyer, I have never had anything displayed in my office that caused more conversation between ally and foe as I have with my flag collection. I have been privileged to have a number of flags from the Texas Fight for Independence created by Gallery of the Republic. It is not an uncommon thing for someone to ask a question such as “how did you get that original battle flag?” They do look that real. The Gallery does great work."
