Texas Bar Journal - March 2012 : McLennan County District Court, Burrus Mill & Elevator Co. V. Jim Rob Wills (1933)
When Bob Wills quit his job as a Light Crust Doughboy and started his own band, the Playboys, in Waco, he advertised his group as "Formerly the Light Crust Doughboys." W. Lee "Pass the Biscuits, Pappy" O'Daniel sued to stop him from performing. "Wills' victory in court over a future Texas governor proves that 'It Don't Matter Who's in Austin, Bob Wills Is Still the King.' And may he reign forever." The case was nominated by the McLennan County District Court Clerk to the Texas Court Records Preservation Task Force as one of Texas' most significant court proceedings.
