Price Daniel was Attorney General of Texas from January 1947 to January 1953. The attorney general functions as the state's lawyer, provides legal advice in the form of opinions, and also represents the state in litigation. These records consist of correspondence, reports, briefs, subject files, publications, campaign files, reference materials and historical documents of Texas Attorney General Price Daniel. The records are dated 1934, 1938-1941, 1944-1962, 1969-1970, 1978, 1986-1987, bulk 1947-1952. Records dating from after Daniel's term as Attorney General were added later at Daniel's request. Records listed in the inventory as dating before 1934 are probably copies of historical materials gathered for the Tidelands case. Subjects include the Tidelands Case (state title to submerged lands), organized crime, and Sweatt v. Painter (racial segregation in public education).
