* ''Coombs v. State'', 44 S.W. 854, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/Vol_044_SWR_854.pdf#page=6 859-60] (Tex.Crim.App. 1898) ("By the terms of section 28 of article 1 of the present constitution, this was changed, and said section amended . . . . By such omission the authority of the legislature to delegate its power to suspend laws was repealed, and that body was inhibited from delegating authority to suspend laws in whole or in part. If, under former constitutions, the legislature could delegate authority to municipal corporations to suspend articles of the Penal Code, it would hardly be denied that such authority was withdrawn by not carrying the provision 'or its authority' forward in our present constitution.") | * ''Coombs v.
