* ''Erwin v. Blanks'', 60 Tex. 583, [https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth28514/m1/618/ 586] (1884) ("We do not think that the twenty-second section of the fifth article of the constitution intended that the mere statutory grant to the county courts of a power beyond that which they were authorized under the constitution to exercise was to be construed as a lawful increase of the jurisdiction of such courts. If so, no matter what jurisdiction . . . . It was doubtless intended that the jurisdiction should be prescribed for the county court, and provision should be made at the same time giving to the district court the power which had been withdrawn from the county courts, or depriving the district court of those which had been conferred upon the latter.")

* ''State v. Moore'', 57 Tex. 307, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/57_Tex._307.pdf#page=9 315] (1882) ("That the constitution might empower the legislature to withdraw power from the hands in which the constitution placed it, and to confer the same upon an another officer or tribunal, cannot be questioned; but to enable the legislature to do so, the power must be given in express terms . . . . Such a power is found in article 5, section 22, of the constitution, which provides that 'The legislature shall have power, by local or general law, to increase, diminish or change the civil and criminal jurisdiction of county courts; and in cases of any such change of jurisdiction, the legislature shall also conform the jurisdiction of the other courts to such change.'")
