* ''County of Anderson v. Kennedy'', 58 Tex. 616, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/058_Tex_616.pdf#page=7 622-23] (1883) ("It would be hard to believe that it was the intention of the constitution to give to no courts the power to hear and determine a multitude of questions which affect the welfare of the people most vitally, which, however, cannot be exactly measured by dollars and cents or defined by subject matter. Purvis ''v''. Sherrod, 12 Tex. 160. If such be true of the present constitution, then the declaration in the bill of rights that 'all courts shall be open, and every person, for an injury done him in his lands, goods, person or reputation, shall have remedy by due course of law,' is a mockery.") | * ''County of Anderson v.

* ''Giddings v. City of San Antonio'', 47 Tex. 548, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/ | * ''Giddings v. City of San Antonio'', 47 Tex. 548, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/047_Tex_548.pdf#page=10 557] (1877) ("The same question, upon the same class of claims . . . . While it is of the highest importance that the courts should be open at all times for the assertion of rights that are believed to be well founded, it would be unfortunate that it should be thought practicable, on a doubtful question, to easily procure a change of decision with every change in the members, who might, from time to time, compose the Supreme Court. This question is, therefore, not before us as one of first impression, but stands with the weight in favor of an affirmance of the last decision of this court upon it.") | ||
