S. B. No. 172.] CHAPTER 55.
An Act validating certain cities and towns incorporated under the General
Laws of Texas, Title 28, Revised Civil Statutes, 1925, having 600 inhabitants
or over; and declaring an emergency.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Texas:
SECTION 1. That all cities and towns of six hundred inhabitants
or more which have hertofore attempted to accept the
provisions of Title XXVIII and to become incorporated cities
and towns of six hundred inhabitants or more under the General
Laws of Texas, and have failed to comply with all the requirements
of said General Laws, or which are not included

to accept the provisions of said general laws, and all towns and
villages incorporated under Chapter 14 or Chapter 11 of Title
XXVIII of the Revised Civil Statutes of 1925, and which now

councils thereof, unless the same were authorized by the General
Laws of the State under which they were attempting to
act at the several dates when said acts were done; and provided,
further, that the provisions of this article shall not validate the
act of any town or city in adding additional territory to such
city or town without the consent of such inhabitants so added to
such city or town.
SEC. 2. The fact that there are many cities and towns of six
hundred inhabitants and more that have incorporated under
the provisions of said General Law, and have in good faith
undertaken to incorporate and to accept the provisions of said
General Laws, and may not have complied strictly with all of the
