In the 1890 Supreme Court case Leeper v. Texas, the court addressed a dispute over land ownership in Texas. The plaintiff, Robert E. Leeper, claimed that he had purchased a tract of land from its original owner and was therefore entitled to its possession. However, the state of Texas argued that it held rightful title to this property because it had been sold for taxes prior to Leeper's purchase and subsequently granted by patent from the state government to another party who then conveyed it back to them. The main issue before the court was whether or not tax sales could extinguish pre-existing private property rights without due process of law as required by Fourteenth Amendment protections against deprivation of life, liberty or property without due process. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Mr. Leeper stating that although states have broad powers when dealing with taxation matters including selling properties for unpaid taxes; they cannot infringe upon constitutional guarantees such as those provided under Fourteenth Amendment which requires fair procedures (due process) before depriving individuals their vested rights like owning lands legally acquired through valid contracts.

The Leeper v. Texas case does not have a recorded dissenting opinion available for summarization. The 1890 case, which involved land rights in the state of Texas, was decided by the Supreme Court without any noted dissents from justices. It's important to note that this is different from the well-known Leeper v. Arlington ISD (1994), a landmark homeschooling case in Texas where no dissenting opinion was also recorded as it was ruled unanimously in favor of homeschoolers' right to educate their children at home without certification requirements for parents or standardized testing for students.
