* ''Dewhurst v. Hendee'', 253 S.W.3d 320, [https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=15070409225498594370#p336 336-37] (Tex.App.–Austin 2008, denied) (citations omitted) ("The meaning of the terms 'the state's economy' and 'the estimated rate of growth of the state's economy' is not self-apparent, but entails consideration of myriad technical and policy variables. Nor does article VIII, section 22 provide . . . . Instead, the provision expressly contemplates that the legislature will address these matters in the first instance when devising 'procedures to implement this subsection.' We cannot conclude that the legislature's determination to select SPI as the basis for calculating the growth factor was without guiding rules and principles relative to article VIII, section 22(a)'s purposes.")

* ''Hendee v. Dewhurst'', 228 S.W.3d 354, [https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=6718876841383520789#p360 360-61] (Tex.App.–Austin 2007, denied) (footnote omitted) ("Article VIII, section 22 was borne of a tax reform effort in the late 1970s. It was one of several components of a 'Tax Relief Amendment' to the constitution proposed earlier that year by the 65th legislature during a special session called for that purpose . . . . H.J.R. 1, 65th Leg., 2d C.S. It was apparently modeled on a Tennessee provision. ''See'' Janice C. May, ''The Texas State Constitution: A Reference Guide'' 310 (1996). Article VIII, section 22 was ratified by the voters in November 1978. As the second sentence of Article VIII, section 22(a) requires, the legislature enacted laws to implement the provision.")
