* ''McMeans v. Finley'', 32 S.W. 524, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/032_SW_524.pdf#page=2 525] (Tex. 1895) ("[T]he contention is that the act contains more than one subject. It was doubtless intended by Section 35 to prevent certain practices sometimes resorted to in legislative bodies to secure legislation contrary to the will of the majority,—one, that of misleading members by incorporating in the body of the act some subject not named in the title; the other, that of including in the same bill two matters foreign to each other, for the purpose of procuring the support of such legislators as could be induced to vote for one provision merely for the purpose of securing the enactment of the other.") | * ''McMeans v.

* ''Gunter v. Texas Land & Mortg. Co.'', 17 S.W. 840, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/ | * ''Gunter v. Texas Land & Mortg. Co.'', 17 S.W. 840, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/017_SW_840.pdf#page=4 843] (Tex. 1891) ("The title of that act, besides naming the chapters to be amended, expressly gave the subject of the act . . . and the court doubtless considered this a sufficient designation of the chapters to be amended, and deemed the part of the act then under consideration germane to the subject named. There is nothing in the title of the act under consideration from which the subject may be known, and, were we to hold it a compliance with the requirement of the constitution, we would deny to that clause the effect which its letter and spirit show it was intended to have.") | ||
* ''Day Land & Cattle Co. v. State'', 4 S.W. 865, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/Vol_004_SWR_865.pdf#page=8 872] (Tex. 1887) ("Former constitutions of this state used the word 'object' in the same connection in which the word 'subject' is used in section 35, art. 3, of the constitution now in force; but the latter word perhaps expresses more accurately the meaning and intent of the constitutional provision. As used in the constitution, the word 'subject' is that which is to be dominated or controlled by the particular law. . . . A title or act essentially single in subject, which does not thus conceal or disguise the real purpose, is not subject to constitutional objection, although the ends intended to be reached through the one subject may be many.") | * ''Day Land & Cattle Co. v.
