Judge Roy Bean
A replica of the judge's courthouse and saloon and an overt opportunity for tourist dollars. Roy Bean actually operated in the tiny town of Langtry, Texas in Val Verde County on the Rio Grande. His self-proclaimed title of being the "only law west of the Pecos (River) likely led to people coming to Pecos, Texas in search of his stomping ground. This surely led to the building of this replica.
