Leon Shepherd, Appellants v. San Jacinto Junior College District, Appellees

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Article 2815h, § 7 of Vernon’s Ann. Civ. Stats., which authorizes junior college districts to levy and collect an ad valorem tax for their support and maintenance, is a valid constitutional enactment. The Court based its decision on an interpretation of Sec. 3, Art. VII of the Texas Constitution and its subsequent amendments, rejecting the appellants' argument of an implied limitation. The judgment of the trial court was affirmed.
