Texas State Board of Barber Examiners, Petitioners v. Beaumont Barber College, Inc., Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the 1961 amendments to the Texas Barber Law, requiring specific facilities and space for barber colleges, are a valid exercise of the state's police power and do not violate the Texas Bill of Rights as an impermissible retroactive or contract‑impairing law. Accordingly, the Board's revocation of the branch college's permit was upheld, the Court of Civil Appeals was reversed, and the trial court's judgment affirmed.
