FORNEY, Tex. — Times may be tough in Texas, but that did not mean that Ewing Oil Co. had to take the paltry $2 million offered for the lavish ranch once used as a location for the television series "Dallas."
Officials of Ewing Oil Co. of Dallas--no relation to the fictional J. R. Ewing and family--sent a realtor back with an undisclosed counteroffer for the 445-acre Southern Cross Ranch, which was last appraised at $6.1 million.
