Message Board Post:
Looking for information on Dennis Bangs Chapin who was a Judge at one time and had the
county seat of Hidalgo County named for himself.
He is also know for shooting and killing a ex-Texas Ranger by the name of Oscar J.
Rountree in San Antonio.
I am looking for information as to what happened in that bar. Was Rountree really looking
to kill Chapin as he stated in his trial. Or was Oscar Rountree at the wrong place.
Also looking for any information about Rountree to see when he started as a Texas Ranger
and why he quit.
