| * ''Orndorff v. State ex rel. McGill'', 108 S.W.2d 206, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/108_SW2_206.pdf#page=7 212] (Tex.Civ.App.–El Paso 1937, ref'd) ("In any event, we think that neither a discharge in bankruptcy, were it intended to affect such a claim, nor the barring of the judgment through the operation of the statutes of limitations, would satisfy the requirement of section 20 of article 3 of the Constitution. That provision disqualifies the candidate until he 'shall have obtained a discharge' . . . . These statutes do not mitigate the effect of the prohibition of the State against the holding of office by one in default. This denial of privilege is outside the province of congressional action and prohibitive of contrary State legislative action.")
