* ''Hancock v. Butler'', 21 Tex. 804, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/21_Tex._804.pdf#page=10 813] (1858) ("In the American states, perpetuities, entailments, and the right of primogeniture were generally prohibited by their written constitution; and the antagonism of classes never having existed here, the public mind was at ease on the subject of the encroachments of the power of property. Hence our decisions have not always kept pace with the English decisions in disregarding the qualifying words which formerly in their own courts took the case out of the rule. See opinions of Chief Justice Marshall, 10 B. Mon. 56, in which he adheres to former decisions and declines to follow the then late case of Jesson v. Wright.") | * ''Hancock v.
