The town of Cut and Shoot gained fame when local boxer Roy Harris, a heavyweight contender, fought Floyd Patterson for the heavyweight title in 1958. Harris appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated and was featured in LIFE. So much mail was addressed to “Roy Harris, Cut and Shoot, Texas” that the U. S. Postal Service granted a franchise post office to the town.
