Womack v. Carson, 70 S.W.2d 416, 417 (Tex. 1934) (on 2nd motion for rehearing) ("When the Legislature created a class and decreed regulations for the counties embraced in that class, and then excluded by name, counties embraced within the classification, the result was the enactment of a local or special law, and therefore the Legislature, in attempting to exclude Montgomery county and the other counties from the operation of the act, rendered invalid the entire act and not merely the portion of the act covered by the proviso, as correctly held by the Court of Civil Appeals, on the authority of Hall v. Bell County (Tex. Civ. App.) 138 S. W. 178, expressly approved by the Supreme Court in Bell County v. Hall, 105 Tex. 558, 153 S. W. 121.")

("It is also contended that since the appropriation is to purchase land in Brewster County, the act is a local law,, and was enacted without giving notice thereof as required by Sec. 57 of Art. 3 of the Texas Constitution. All public properties, such as parks, lakes, dams, and universities are necessarily located in one place, but are open to the use of all citizens alike, and the park in question is available to not only the people of Brewster County and Texas, but as well to all the people of the United States.")
