* ''Texas & Pac. Ry. Co. v. State'', 78 S.W.2d 580, 582 (Tex. 1935) ("We do not so interpret the legislative intent. It is plain from the caption, and the nature of the general subject with which the Joint Resolution deals, that the Legislature regarded the Joint Resolution as a composite whole, and that the term 'this resolution' as used in the proviso in question means such composite whole. . . . Manifestly the Joint Resolution is, in its nature, but a proposal by the state to grant the rights therein specified, on the condition precedent that the route through Texas, for a transcontinental railroad, be adopted by the United States by March 4, 1851.")

* ''Conley v. Texas Div. of United Daughters of the Confederacy'', 164 S.W. 24, 26 (Tex.Civ.App.–Austin 1913, ref'd) ("Addressing ourselves to the first contention raised by appellant, we are of the opinion that the Legislature by resolution had the right to designate and set apart said room for the use of the Daughters of the Confederacy. While there is a marked distinction between a law and a resolution, yet our Constitution clearly recognizes the right of the Legislature to express its will by resolutions, and in the passage thereof the same rules, provisions, and limitations shall apply thereto, except as to the caption and enacting clause.")
