History of the E & R Farms in Galveston, Texas explained.

E & R Farms is one of the forgotten farms of Galveston, Texas which Robert R Godinich operated. This news article will explain the history behind this farm that sits on a hill at the west end of Galveston Island.

Robert R Godinich operated E & R Farms which ran from 1990 to 1993 on property which was owned by John B Cotter Sr, Vincent Godinich, and Vivian A Godinich. He was the eldest son of Vivian Godinich and Vincent Godinich.

E & R Farms was incorporated on the date of March 28, 1990. Farming operations and agricultural activities would begin on that date. That is when Robert R Godinich was the agent responsible for operations and management of E & R Farms. The single family homes on the property were used for equipment storage.

E & R Farms was shut down by the State of Texas on the date of August 17, 1993 for unpaid franchise taxes. Somehow Robert R Godinich was unable to pay off the franchise taxes for his farm and business. That is the reason why E & R Farms was dissolved.

According to data from Galveston County Deeds, Vivian A Cotter along with Vincent Godinich deeded the land to his wife Vivian A Godinich on a conversion deed on the date of 4/26/1994. (Ref: https://propaccess.trueautomation.com/clientdb/Property.aspx?cid=81&prop_id=115345)



According to data from Galveston County Deeds, Vivian A Cotter had the land willed to John B Cotter Jr and to her daughter Vivian A Godinich on a probated will on the date of 11/11/1994. (Ref: https://propaccess.trueautomation.com/clientdb/Property.aspx?cid=81&prop_id=115344)

On July 23, 2020, GFM and Restoration Ministries Galveston restored the single family homes up on the hill to serve as the second location for their ministries. What were once single family homes and farms is now home to a church and ministry. (Ref: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=104875641317182&id=104865211318225)
