Biographical History
Graham B. Smedley (1880-1954) was a member of the Commission of Appeals to the Texas Supreme Court, Section B, 1933-1945, and the Associate Justice of the Texas Supreme Court, 1945-1954. An acknowledged authority on land titles, oil and gas rights, and irrigation law, Smedley was known as "the great little dissenter" and for the sharpness of his dissents. He practiced law in Dallas, Midland, Wichita Falls, Fort Worth, and Austin. While with the Texas Attorney General's Office in 1913-18, he handled the state's successful recovery of 60,000 acres of West Texas land paid in excess for construction of the state capitol. He authored a digest of Texas oil and gas law.
