* ''De Shazo v. Webb'', 113 S.W.2d 519, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/113_SW2_519.pdf#page=5 523] (Tex. 1938) ("[T]he Legislature has the power to enact any law that is not in conflict with the Constitution of this state or of the United States, or valid laws enacted by the latter. No contention is made by contestee that the above statutes involve any federal question. . . . When we consider, however, that this is not a civil suit, and that the statute confers the power or capacity on these contestants to maintain this legislative action, and when we are unable to put our finger on a single constitutional provision which prohibits the conferring of such power, we are compelled to overrule this contention.") | * ''De Shazo v.

* ''Brown v. Humble Oil & Refining Co.'', 83 S.W.2d 935, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/ | * ''Brown v. Humble Oil & Refining Co.'', 83 S.W.2d 935, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/083_SW2_935.pdf#page=7 941] (Tex. 1935) (citations omitted) ("In the absence of a well-defined standard or rule in the statutes defining the public policy of the state with respect to the mineral interest, the Railroad Commission would be without authority to promulgate rules, regulations, or orders relating to the protection of oil and gas. The power to pass laws rests with the Legislature, and that power cannot be delegated to some commission or other tribunal. In order to carry out the commands of the Legislature, the Railroad Commission adopted rule 37. The validity of this rule has been upheld repeatedly.") | ||
* ''Travelers' Insurance Co. v. Marshall'', 76 S.W.2d 1007, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/076_S.W.2d_1007.pdf#page=4 1010] (Tex. 1934) ("We are asked, however, to hold that, under the ''police power'', one of the powers of government (''State v. Coleman'', 96 Conn. 190, 113 A. 385) vitalized by emergency conditions, the Legislature had the authority to pass the measure before us. We are asked to do this, although the Bill of Rights, section 16, expressly prohibits the enactment of laws impairing the obligation of contracts. . . . Obviously all these questions must be answered in the negative. This is so because the pronouncements of the Constitution are 'imperious, supreme and paramount.'") | * ''Travelers' Insurance Co. v.
