Jones v. City of Jefferson, 1 SW. 903 (Tex. 1886)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
S&amp;amp;are v. G&amp;amp;r, 19 S.W. 302 (Tex. 1892&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== review ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Texas Supreme&lt;br /&gt;
Court determined, in Pruitt v. Glen Rose Independent School District No. 1, 84 S.W.Zd&lt;br /&gt;
1004, 1007 (Tex. 1935). that article XVI. section 17 did not apply to an officer who has&lt;br /&gt;
“stepped down” from office by operation of article XVI, section 40, which prohibits, with&lt;br /&gt;
certain specified exceptions, any person from simultaneously holding “more than one civil&lt;br /&gt;
office of emolument.” See also State ex rel. Peden v. Valentine. 198 S.W. 1006, 1007&lt;br /&gt;
(Tex. Civ. App.--Fort Worth 1917, writ refd) (upon acceptance of second, incompatible&lt;br /&gt;
office, first office is ipso facto vacated). In L-owe v. Sfufe, 201 S.W. 986 (I’ex. Grim. App.&lt;br /&gt;
1918), the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals determined that article XVI, section 17 does&lt;br /&gt;
not apply to an officer who is ineligible under article XVI, section 12 of the Texas&lt;br /&gt;
Constitution to hold or exercise an office of profit or trust under this state because he or&lt;br /&gt;
she holds or exercises an office of profit or trust under the United States. I&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== add ? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, pursuant to article XVI, section&lt;br /&gt;
65, the county judge has automatically resigned his office. However,&lt;br /&gt;
he continues to hold over in his office under XVI, section 17 of the&lt;br /&gt;
Texas Constitution, until his successor is appointed and qualifies for&lt;br /&gt;
office.&lt;br /&gt;
