FORTY-SECOND LEGISLATURE-FIRST CALLED SESSION. 41
Attorneys. No fee for representing the State in any habeas
corpus proceedings shall be allowed or collected except in cases
where the defendant is charged with a capital offense.
SEC. 15. Said Criminal District Attorney is hereby authorized
to appoint not exceeding two (2) assistants, and is hereby
authorized to pay oene assistant not exceeding Three Hundred
Dollars ($300.00) per month, one not exceeding Two Hundred
Dollars ($200.00) per month. Such Assistant Criminal District
Attorneys shall take the constitutional oath of office and
be authorized to represent the State in all of the Courts of the
County in which the Criminal District Attorney is authorized
by this Act to represent the State, such authority to be exercised
under the direction of the Criminal District Attorney, and
such assistants shall be subject to removal at the will of the
Criminal District Attorney. Each of said assistants shall be
authorized to administer oath, file information, examine witnesses
before the Grand Jury, and generally perform any duty

any power conferred by law upon County and District Attorneys
and the Criminal District attorney when by him so authorized.
The Criminal District Attorney shall be paid the
same fees for services rendered by his assistants as he would
be entitled to receive if the services had been rendered by himself.
SEC. 16. The rapid development of Gregg County, due to the
location of a large oil field in said County and the litigation
incident thereto, necessitates the creation of the 124th Judicial
District Court, as herein provided for. The unprecedented
amount of litigation, the crowded condition of the docket, the
numerous civil cases being filed and the numerous felony cases
pending on the docket of the 71st Judicial District Court in and
for Gregg County, Texas, which litigation the existing Court
is unable to dispose of, and the crowded condition generally of
the Gregg County jail, by reason of persons being unable to obtain
a speedy trial, and the near approach of the end of this
Session of the Legislature, creates an emergency and an imperative
public necessity which requires that the Constitutional
Rule requiring bills to be read on three separate days be suspended,
and the same is hereby suspended, and this Act shall
take effect and be in force from and after its passage, and it
is so enacted.
Approved August 12, 1931.
Effective August 12, 1931.
