TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME:
Pursuant to Article IV, Section 14, of the Texas Constitution, I, Rick Perry, Governor of
Texas, do hereby disapprove of and veto House Bill No. 156 as passed by the Seventy-
Eighth Texas Legislature, Regular Session, because of the following objections:
House Bill No. 156, which would give Regional Mobility Authorities the
ability to condemn real property, conflicts with other legislation. House
Bill No. 3588, which I have signed, covers eminent domain authority for
Regional Mobility Authorities in a more comprehensive manner. I am
vetoing this bill at the author's request.
Since the Legislature by its adjournment has prevented the return of this bill, I am filing
these objections in the office of the Secretary of State and giving notice thereof by this
public proclamation according to the aforementioned constitutional provision.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I. Have
signed my name officially and dcised
the Seal of the State to be affixed hereto '
at Austin, this 20th day of June, 2003.
