CHAPTER XLVI.-An act authorizing and requiring owners of lands
between the Nueces and Rio Grande rivers, under grants or titles thereto
from the former governments, which were recorded in the respective
counties before the adoption of the present constitution, to deposit and
archive the same in the general land office.
Section 1. Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Texas,
that all owners of lands between the Nueces and Rio Grande rivers,
under grants or titles from the former government, which grants or titles
are such as are described in section four of article thirteen of the present
constitution, and have been, previous to the adoption of this constitution,
recorded in the respective counties where the land is situated, but have
not yet been deposited or archived in the general land office of this state,
be and they are hereby authorized and required to deposit and archive
said grants or titles in said general land office; and provided further,
that such titles when so archived shall be subject to all defenses and
objections that they otherwise would have been if not so archived, and
said act of archiving shall invest said titles with no greater validity than
they before had as titles recorded in the proper county, and the commissioner
of the general land office is hereby authorized and required to
receive the same as archives of said office.
Sec. 2. The near approach of the close of the present session of the
Legislature and the fact that no provision exists for the relief herein provided
to the owners of the said titles, creates an imperative public necessity
for the suspension of the constitutional rule, which requires that all
bills be read on three several days, said rule is therefore suspended, and
an emergency exists that this act should take effect from and after its
passage, and it is so enacted.
Approved March 16, A. D. 181.
Takes effect ninety days after adjournment.
