Settlement effort in multi-million dollar Duranguito legal battle fails
EL PASO, Texas A man who has largely funded the legal battle to preserve the area known as Duranguito in downtown El Paso says he wanted to discuss a settlement to end the costly case, but the City of El Paso hasn t called him back. I have reached out to them, they never reached out to me, said JP Bryan, a famed billionaire oilman and Texas historic preservationist who lives in Houston. He believes Duranguito should be restored to promote heritage tourism. However, the city wants to build a multipurpose performance center, commonly referred to as an arena, in that spot.
