The statute misspelled Collinsworth. Rocking Chair Ranch arrived in 1883.
Collingsworth County's seat is Wellington, on rolling prairie east of the High Plains. A ranch credit and a wheat credit can share a month. The close is remote.
James Collinsworth, first chief justice of the Republic, is the man the legislature meant to honor. The bill spelled the county Collingsworth. Wellington is the seat. The county file dates the county to 1876 and names Bexar as the parent tract.
The Rowe brothers put the Diamond Tail Ranch in the southeast. In 1883 an English syndicate stocked the Rocking Chair Ranch on alternate sections across much of the rest. Dodson, Samnorwood, and Quail are the other communities the entry names. Wheeler is north, Donley west, and Oklahoma east. The Salt Fork of the Red crosses the middle. Sandy loam carries the native grasses the entry describes. Elm Creek, Wolf Creek, and Sand Creek feed that fork. A little oil and gas shows in the north of the county, included only as a resource name. The English syndicate and the Rowe brothers are two different ranch stories in the handbook entry.
Wellington can see a ranch credit and a wheat credit together.
The July 2026 Comptroller figure used here shows no county sales tax for Collingsworth County. State sales tax is 6.25%. Where a city has its own rate, that city rate stacks on the state rate and any county rate. The combined cap is 8.25%. City rates are not listed on this page.
Business personal property renditions go to the county appraisal district for Collingsworth County. Put April 15 on the calendar. That district's form says which date controls the list.
The franchise report is due May 15. Texas has no state income tax. Neither date goes away because of that.
Wellington files under the statute spelling Collingsworth, not under Collinsworth. The Diamond Tail is the Rowe brothers' spread. The Rocking Chair is the 1883 English venture on alternate sections. Dodson, Samnorwood, and Quail sit apart from Wellington. The Salt branch of the Red crosses the middle. Wolf feeds that branch. Wheeler touches one border. Donley touches another. Oklahoma touches the remaining border. Loam carries the native grasses, and those grasses are not a product line. The 1886 blizzard and the 1885 drought broke many of the big outfits, and smaller spreads followed. Young is the other parent tract beside Bexar. The 1883 date belongs to the Rocking Chair. The Rowe brothers belong to the Diamond Tail. Alternate sections are how the English venture was laid out. Dodson is not Samnorwood. Quail is not Wellington. The statute error is the spelling you file under now, Collingsworth, with the extra l. Keep Hall off these papers. Do not add that neighbor. The English syndicate stays off the form unless the check says Rocking Chair. The Rowe label stays off unless the check says Diamond Tail. Estelle D. Tinkler's account calls the English venture Nobility's Ranche. Leader Printing in Wellington collected local stories. Clyde Chestnut Brown later wrote a survey history of the same tract.
