an emergency.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Texas:

for the purpose of barter or sale.

be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be

SEC. 4. The fact that minnows are taken in large numbers
from the fresh waters of Bell County and are used for commercial
purposes by bait dealers in adjoining counties to the detriment

take effect from and after its passage, and it is so enacted.
