Partly-printed DS, one page, 8 x 10, May 31, 1844. As president of the Republic of Texas, Houston appoints Rufus E. Brown "to the Office of Justice of the Peace in and for the County of Gonzales, in said Republic." Prominently signed at the top by Sam Houston and countersigned at the conclusion by Anson Jones as secretary of state. In fine condition, with some nearly invisible expert repairs. Jones succeeded Houston as president of Texas at the end of 1844. A beautifully signed document by both of these influential Texas political figures.
