In defiance of the Nixon v. Herndon decision, which allowed blacks to vote in the Texas Democratic primary, the Texas legislature passed a law to enable the Democratic Party State Executive Committee to establish its own voting qualifications limiting eligibility to whites.  Dr. L. A. Nixon filed a new lawsuit against James Condon, the election officer who denied him a ballot in the 1928 Democratic primary. On May 2, 1932, in Nixon v. Condon, the Supreme Court struck down the law as another violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. Undeterred, the Texas Democratic Party voted at the state convention to ban blacks from membership, once again, circumventing the Court’s action.  In this letter Fred Knollenberg, the NAACP’s counsel in El Paso, urges Walter White to continue the fight, but financial constraints prevented further litigation.
