* ''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.") | * ''Gunter v.

* ''Day Land & Cattle Co. v. State'', 4 S.W. 865, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/ | * ''Day Land & Cattle Co. v. State'', 4 S.W. 865, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/004_SW_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.") | ||
* ''Breen v. T. & P. R. R. Co.'', 44 Tex. 302, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/44_Tex._302.pdf#page=4 305-06] (1875) ("The purpose [of this section] was no doubt to prevent the 'bringing together into one bill subjects diverse in their nature and having no necessary connection, with a view to combine in their favor the advocates of all, and thus secure the passage of several measures, neither of which could succeed on its own merits.' It was also intended to remedy another practice 'by which, through dexterous management, clauses were inserted in bills of which the titles gave no intimation,' and thereby pass bills through the legislature while many members were unaware of their real scope and effect.") | * ''Breen v.
