* ''Davenport v. Garcia'', 834 S.W.2d 4, [https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=15525942258909638995#p11 11-12] (Tex. 1992) ("Having found that the trial court's gag orders violate article I, section 8 of the Texas Constitution, this court need not consider whether the United States Constitution has also been violated. . . . We decline to limit the liberties of Texans to those found in the Federal Constitution when this court is responsible for the preservation of Texas' own fundamental charter. When a state court interprets the constitution of its state merely as a restatement of the Federal Constitution, it both insults the dignity of the state charter and denies citizens the fullest protection of their rights.") | * ''Davenport v.

* ''Ex parte Tucker'', 220 S.W. 75, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/ | * ''Ex parte Tucker'', 220 S.W. 75, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/220_SW_75.pdf#page=2 76] (Tex. 1920) ("The theory of the provision is that no man or set of men are to be found, so infallible in mind and character as to be clothed with an absolute authority of determining what other men may think, speak, write or publish; that freedom of speech is essential to the nature of a free state; that the ills suffered from its abuse are less than would be imposed by its suppression; and, therefore, that every person shall be left at liberty to speak his mind on all subjects, and for the abuse of the privilege be responsible in civil damages and subject to the penalties of the criminal law.") | ||
* ''McArthur v. State'', 57 S.W. 847, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/Vol_057_SWR_847.pdf#page=3 849] (Tex.Crim.App. 1900) ("We do not understand this article of our Code to contravene the provisions of our constitution on this subject (see Bill of Rights, § 8) . . . . This provision makes the jurors simply the judges of the law under the direction of the court, as in other cases. In other cases the jury take the law from the court, and are required to be governed thereby; and we understand the constitution and the statute to mean the same thing, and it was never intended that the jury, with reference to libel, should construe the law for themselves and without direction from the court.") | * ''McArthur v.
