During 1930 the Democratic Party of Texas State passed a law that was eventually banning the voting rights of the black citizens of the state of texas during the primary election. In retort to it, R.R Grocery filed a suit in the court against a county clerk Townsend and state the law unconstitutional. He supported his suit by stating it as a violation against the Grocery Civil Right as per the 14th and 15th amendments. But to the surprise, the court gave the ruling in favor of the party and stated the rule as constitutional.

However, nine years later the ruling of the case was overturned in the Smith versus Allwright case held in 1944.
