* ''Friedman v. American Surety Co.'', 151 S.W.2d 570, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/151_SW2_570.pdf#page=11 580] (Tex. 1941) ("The very life of our republican form of government demands that each of the three co-ordinate branches thereof shall operate within its constitutional limitations. It is the exclusive right and duty of the legislative branch of government to determine the wisdom of legislation. . . . It is not only the right, but it is the duty of the judicial branch to determine whether or not a legislative Act contravenes or antagonizes the fundamental law; and in determining such we are unalterably wedded to the principle that the Constitution means what it meant when it was written.") | * ''Friedman v.

Our decisions from our own jurisdiction . . . . Applying the principles announced in the cases cited, we are of the opinion that the housing law under attack is not violative of Section 1 of Article 2 of the Constitution of Texas. Moreover, like attacks have been made in other jurisdictions and in each instance overruled.") | ||
