Many forfetures about TO accrue, from failure
to pay taxes many claims, otherwise good, will be
barred by adverse possession Of three years-that
being the limitations; many titles Of lands conveyed
in the United States cannot be admitted to record in
Texas, for want of proper authorization. Owing
TO some one or other of these causes the best lands
are in a condition TO be lost.
Having made it my business to become acquaint-
ed with all the laws relating to titles and being de-
termined to attend diligently to all claims confded TO
me, require, in all cases, advance in cash, sufi.
cient to cover expenses of investigation. When
that shall be done, am willing to take contingent,
interest in the lands for attention and services.
