== note == Home-rule cities possess the "full power of local self-government." TEX. Loe. Gov'T CODE Β§ 51.072( a). But article XI, section 5 of the Texas Constitution provides that home-rule city ordinances must not "contain any provis1on inconsistent with the Constitution of the State, or of the general laws enacted by the Legislature of this State." TEX. CONST. art. XI, Β§ 5(a).
