R. E. Moore v. Honorable George H. Sheppard

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court granted mandamus to the clerks of the Courts of Civil Appeals, holding that they were not indebted to the State for fees collected for uncertified copies of opinions and that the appropriation‑bill rider requiring deposit of such fees violated the Texas Constitution's single‑subject rule. Consequently, the Comptroller could not withhold their salary warrants.
