Note that the Texas Attorney General, in Tex. Att'y Gen. Op. [https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/opinion-files/opinion/1993/dm0263.pdf#page=4 DM-263] (1993) (citations omitted), opined that: "More importantly, even if a court were to conclude that the intent of the Senate committee substitute was completely contrary to the original intent of H.B. 241, it is well-established that courts will not 'go behind [a] bill, signed, enrolled, and approved by the governor, to inquire into the changes which it underwent while passing the legislature.'. . .
