Excerpt from General Tax Laws, State of Texas: Annotated This book contains the general tax laws of the State of Texas as they stand today, including the laws passed by the Twenty-ninth Legis latare. The constitutional provisions of this State, with reference to taxation, are given in the first part of the book. Then follow the statutory pro visions. The articles are numbered as they appear in the Revised Stat utes of 1895. When a new article has been enacted and not given a statutory number, it has been placed where it should properly appear. References have been made to decisions of the Supreme Court, Courts of Civil Appeals, and the Court of Criminal Appeals, and also to Opin ions of the Attorney General addressed to the Comptroller and rulings of the Comptroller's Department, of importance to assessors and col lectors of taxes and to commissioners courts with respect to their duties in the assessment and collection of taxes, and they are printed in smaller type following the articles to which they refer. It was thought best not to encumber the book with references to all decisions and rulings bearing on the subject of taxation, hence such only have been noted as were thought to be of most importance and to give a clear understanding of the constructions placed upon the statutes by the courts and departments.
