Article IX, Section 3 of the Texas Constitution
This section was repealed August 5, 1969.
Editor Comments
The former section was added in 1933 and never amended.
It authorized certain counties to adopt a "Home Rule Charter."
However, in 1969, no county had ever adopted such a charter.
Categorized as "deadwood," it and numerous other sections were repealed by the same ballot proposition.
