* ''Ex parte Leslie'', 223 S.W. 227, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/223_SW_227.pdf#page=3 229] (Tex.Crim.App. 1920) ("The law being silent upon this subject, the relator cannot be punished for refusing to obey the command of the commission or its agents. Power cannot be conferred upon them to make an offense. Jannin v. State, 42 Tex. Cr. R. 631, 51 S.W. 1126, 62 S.W. 419, 53 L. R. A. 349 . . . . The rules proclaimed cannot be enforced, for the reason that an attempt is made to delegate to the inspectors the discretion conferred by the Legislature upon the commission, and by reason of the attempt to give a power of discrimination which could not be exercised by the commission or the Legislature.") | * ''Ex parte Leslie'', 223 S.W. 227, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/223_SW_227.pdf#page=3 229] (Tex.Crim.App. 1920) ("The law being silent upon this subject, the relator cannot be punished for refusing to obey the command of the commission or its agents.

* ''Union Cent. Life Ins. Co. v. Chowning'', 26 S.W. 982, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/ | * ''Union Cent. Life Ins. Co. v. Chowning'', 26 S.W. 982, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/026_SW_982.pdf#page=3 984-85] (Tex. 1894) ("If it be conceded that the 12 per cent. is a penalty for a failure to pay when due, then the question arises, by what provision of our constitution is such legislation forbidden, and who will determine as to when the public is so interested in the enforcement of contracts as to justify the legislature in enforcing their performance by penalties? There is no clause of our state constitution which expressly or by implication prohibits the act. . . . The article is not in conflict with the constitution of the United States or of the state of Texas, and is valid.") | ||
* ''Stanfield v. State'', 18 S.W. 577, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/Vol_018_SWR_577.pdf#page=2 578] (Tex. 1892) ("There seems to be a well-recognized distinction, in respect to the question under consideration, between laws affecting only the municipal subdivisions of the state and such as affect the state at large; and, whatever differences of opinion there may be about the application of the rule to the general laws that affect alike the whole state, it seems to be well established that the maxim that the legislative power is not to be delegated is not trenched upon when the legislation merely bestows upon the municipal organizations of the state certain powers of local regulation.") | * ''Stanfield v.
