* ''Rochelle v. Lane'', 148 S.W. 558, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/148_SW_558.pdf#page=3 560] (Tex. 1912) ("The judgment, being a judicial act, cannot be reviewed by an executive officer. . . . It is urged that previous Comptrollers have exercised the same power for many years. If that be true, it is time that it should be known in Texas that a disregard of the Constitution by the usurpation of power on the part of officials is not sanctified by its long continuance, and that each officer should confine his acts to the limits of his power. We would not disparage the zeal of respondent nor challenge the honesty of his purpose, but the superiority of the Constitution must be sustained until the sovereign voters shall change it.")
