-* ''Caples v. Cole'', 102 S.W.2d 173, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/102_SW2_173.pdf#page=4 176-77] (Tex. 1937) ("[T]he resolution not only undertakes to interpret or construe what the original act contained, but also to read into said law words and intentions not expressed in the original act. Statutes cannot be amended in that manner. . . . The Constitution has clearly prescribed the method to be pursued in the enactment of laws and their amendments. This resolution does not meet the requirements prescribed by the Constitution, and therefore cannot be considered as amending the 1931 Act. We must interpret the original act as written. Article 3, sections 29, 30, and 36, of the Constitution of Texas.")
