* ''Jones v. Williams'', 45 S.W.2d 130, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/045_S.W.2d_130.pdf#page=8 137] (Tex. 1931) ("Applying these rules, it is plain that sections 51 and 55 of article 3 cannot be construed to render nugatory the power to remit fines, penalties, and forfeitures by general law. Our construction of the Constitution that the Legislature may remit accrued penalties by general law, notwithstanding sections 51 and 55 of article 3, and the equal taxation and other provisions of the Constitution, is consistent with the authorities generally . . . . The tax cases cited proceed upon the principle that a penalty is not a part of the tax-proper, and is therefore subject to legislative control.") | * ''Jones v.
