* ''Bexar County Hosp. Dist. v. Crosby'', 327 S.W.2d 445, [https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=1673557588121091927#p447 447] (Tex. 1959) ("It is also argued that since Section 4 of Article IX [] expressly authorized the Legislature to provide for the transfer to the District of hospital land, buildings and equipment owned by the City or County, but made no mention of delinquent taxes under the maxim '''Expresio unius est exclusio alterius'',' it must be presumed that the framers of that Article and Section intended that the delinquent taxes be not transferred. There can be no dispute but that in this State the provisions of the Constitution serve only as a limitation on the power of the Legislature, and not as a grant of power.") | * ''Bexar County Hosp.

* ''Friedman v. American Surety Co.'', 151 S.W.2d 570, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/ | * ''Friedman v. American Surety Co.'', 151 S.W.2d 570, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/151_SW2_570.pdf#page=11 580] (Tex. 1941) ("It seems to be then argued that if it was necessary to amend the Constitution in the instances above mentioned, to enable the Legislature to pass laws to accomplish their purposes, it is necessary to amend the Constitution to enable the Legislature to accomplish the purposes of this Act. . . . We will say, however, that the history of the submission of constitutional amendments in this State will prove that not all of them have been submitted in order to create a legislative power. Some few have undoubtedly been submitted to ascertain the will of the people.") | ||
* ''Texas National Guard Armory Board v. McCraw'', 126 S.W.2d 627, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/126_S.W.2d_627.pdf#page=9 635] (Tex. 1939) ("The general rule prevails . . . . However, there are many powers that the Legislature may delegate to other bodies. In many instances, where the Legislature cannot itself practically or efficiently perform the functions required, there can be no doubt of its authority to designate some tribunal to perform the duties required to carry out the purposes of such legislation. In this State the Legislature has created the Railroad Commission, the Live Stock Commission, the Highway Commission, and many other agencies; and the trend of modern decisions is to uphold such laws.") | * ''Texas National Guard Armory Board v.
