FORTY-THIRD LEGISLATURE-THIRD CALLED SESSION. 27
ALL CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS PREVIOUSLY
ADOPTED GRANTING PERMISSION TO
SUE STATE VALIDATED.
S. B. No. 10.] CHAPTER 13.
An Act validating all Concurrent Resolutions adopted at previous sessions
of the Legislature granting to persons, firms or corporations permission
to sue the State of Texas to any of of its courts upon claims against the
State, providing that same shall be effective both as to suits already filed
and pending and as to suits hereafter filed by authority of said Concurrent
Resolution, providing that nothing therein shall operate to create
any cause of action against the State and declaring an emergency.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Texas:
SECTION 1. That all Concurrent Resolutions heretofore
adopted at any regular or special session of the legislature of
the State of Texas for the purpose of granting to any persons,
firms or corporations permission to sue the State of Texas
through any of its courts, are hereby validated and made
effective to grant such permission, both as to suits already
filed and pending in the courts of this state and as to any suits
which may hereafter be filed by virtue of the permission granted
by such resolutions heretofore adopted. Provided, however, that
nothing herein shall operate to create any cause of action
against the State of Texas.
SEC. 2. The fact that some doubt has arisen as to the
validity of said Concurrent Resolutions and many citizens of
this State have by Concurrent Resolution heretofore been
granted permission to sue the State, upon their alleged claims
against it and have at considerable expense to themselves and
to the State filed and prosecuted their suits in the courts of this
State and that such expenditure of time and funds may be lost
to the State and its citizens unless such permission is made
effective, and the further fact that it is impracticable for the
Legislature to exercise the judicial function of ascertaining the
validity of the claims asserted against the State by persons to
whom permission has been thus granted, create an emergency,
and an imperative public necessity that the Constitutional Rule
requiring all bills to be read on three several days in each
House, be and the same is hereby suspended and that this Act
take effect and be in force from and after its passage, and it is
so enacted.
[NOTE.-S. B. No. 10 passed the Senate, September 17, 1934,
by a vote of 21 yeas, 5 nays; passed the House, September 21,
1934, by a vote of 89 yeas, 18 nays.]
Approved September 22, 1934.
