The underlined portion of the above-quoted provisions
applicable to Harris County, was added by the amendment
contained in House Bill 595. Thus, the compensation of
the County Judge for serving as a member of the Juve-
nile Board was raised from $1,500 per annum to $3,000
per annum, and his salary as County Judge was left at
$18,000 per annum.
Section 2 of House Bill 595 provides:
"All other salary and compensation
laws applicable to the officials named in
this Act are hereby repealed to the extent
that they are in conflict with this Act."
In view of the provisions of Section 2, above-quoted,
the compensation of the County Judge of Harris County is
governed by the provisions of subdivision (b) of Section
of Article 38831, as amended, above-quoted. Likewise, in
view of the provisions of Section 2 of House Bill 595, Acts
of the 59th Legislature, and the fact that House Bill 595
is the latest expression of the Legislature concerning the
compensation of the County Judge of Harris County, you are
advised that its provisions will control over the provisions
of Article 5139, Vernon's Civil Statutes. Ex parte De Jesus
de la 0, 227 S.W.2d 212 (Tex.Crim. 1950).
You are therefore advised that the maximum compen-
sation of the County Judge of Harris County for serving as
a member of the County Juvenile Board is $3,000 per annum,
and that his total compensation is $21,000 per annum
($18,000 plus $3,000).
