* ''Williams v. Taylor'', 19 S.W. 156, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/Vol_019_SWR_156.pdf#page=2 157] (Tex. 1892) ("On the contrary, we think the more obvious purpose of the provision was to preserve a record of the action of the individual members of the house, to the end that these constituents should fix upon them a proper responsibility for their conduct. In the absence of some declaration or language in the constitution showing that it was intended that the journals of the two houses should have a conclusive effect in determining whether the acts of the legislature have properly ripened into laws, we should hesitate long before conceding to them such an effect by remote implications.") | * ''Williams v.
