b. Congress established the grant, but it was not within legal limits.

Charles Beaubien and Guadeloupe Miranda received the land grant in 1841. Congress confirmed it without clarifying the extent. The grant was also concluded in Court. The Court continues to respect and recognize the grant as valid with the assumption that the Congress must have known its scope with regards to the eleven leagues of the Mexican law.
