## Opinion text

HAMITER, Justice
(concurring in part 'and dissenting in part).
I concur in the conclusion that Delta Development Company, Inc. obtained a good and valid lease from Grand Prairie Levee District and that it presently owns a %8th overriding royalty by virtue of a. *341 reservation in its sublease to Richardson and Bass. Otherwise, I dissent, adhering to the views which I expressed on the original hearing of the cause.
