Wilson'', 179 S.W.2d 269, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/179_S.W.2d_269.pdf#page=8 276] (Tex. 1944) ("If this court were to say that the trial court had the right to compel these children to testify, then it would have to hold that the Act itself extends immunity from future prosecution to them. In effect, that decision would be a holding that . . . . In the absence of a clear manifestation of the legislative intent to reach that result, and in the face of expressed intent to the contrary in Section 12, this court will not so hold, regardless of the social desirability of obtaining testimony from delinquent children themselves.")

Our constitution provides: 'In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall not be compelled to give evidence against himself.' Bill of Rights, § 10. And this was as much a criminal prosecution when entertained before the grand jury as if it had been before the court. . . . And in this day neither the legislature nor courts are authorized to violate these sacred provisions of our constitution.")
