Toepperwein&#039;&#039;, 133 S.W. 416, 417 (Tex. 1911) (&quot;Section 50 of article 16 is perhaps broad enough to include penalties, but that is a general provision, while section 15, art. 8, is addressed particularly to the enforcement of tax assessments, and the two provisions must be construed so as to give effect to both, and, if in conflict, the special provision must prevail. . . . We therefore conclude that the provisions of section 50 of article 16 do not limit the operation of section 15 of article 8, and that the homestead is liable, not only for the taxes which are assessed upon it, but also for the penalties which the law prescribes in case of failure to make payment of such taxes.&quot;)<br /> <br /> }}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Tax Law-Texas]]<br /> [[Category:TxCon ArtVIII Sec]]</div>
