Texas Supreme Court

J. W. Robinson, Appellants v. John Hill

March 13, 197417 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 235

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's denial of a temporary injunction, holding that the bail‑bond licensing statute is constitutional. It found the statute's title satisfies the single‑subject rule, the law is a general rather than a special/local law, the licensing fees are not occupation taxes, the remittitur provision does not violate liability restrictions, and the population‑based classification does not breach equal protection.
