* ''Luna v. Blanton'', 478 S.W.2d 76, [https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=13753661835562663937#p78 78-79] (Tex. 1972) ("It is settled, of course, that where the Constitution prescribes the qualifications for holding a particular office, it is beyond the power of the Legislature to change or add to these qualifications unless the Constitution gives that power. . . . The Legislature declared in plain terms that the requirements set out in the forepart of Article 1.05 'shall not apply to ''any office''' for which the Constitution of Texas prescribes qualifications in conflict therewith. Article III, Section 6, of the Constitution prescribes the qualifications ''for the office'' of senator, and the qualifications there set out differ from and are in conflict with those found in Article 1.05.")
