* ''Kaufman County Levee Improvement Dist. v. National Life Ins. Co.'', 171 S.W.2d 188, 189 (Tex.Civ.App.–Dallas 1943, ref'd) ("The provision has the same meaning today that it had when first adopted as a part . . . . Improvement districts, such as the District involved here, were unknown in 1845 when § 14 of Art. 16 became a part of the constitutional law of the state; nor did such districts come into existence until after the constitutional amendment known as § 52 of Art. 3 was adopted in November, 1904, and more extensively after the amendment known as § 59 of Art. 16 was adopted in August, 1917, hence we do not think § 14 of Art. 16 has any application whatever to the District involved here.")
