Ch. 165 58TH LEGISLATURE-REGULAR SESSION
DISTRICT JUDGES-COMPENSATION
CHAPTER 165 87
H. B. No. 694
An Act to fix and make certain the amount of compensation to be paid district
Judges from the county funds by counties having a population of not less
than six hundred thousand (600,000) nor more than eight hundred thousand
(800,000), according to the last preceding Federal Census, and having eight
(8) or more district courts; providing the time and method of payment;
authorizing the amendment of the county budget; providing for the com-
pensation of substitute Judges; providing that this Act be cumulative of
existing laws; repealing all laws in conflict to the extent of the conflict
only; and declaring an emergency.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Texas:
Section 1. In any county in this State having a population of not
less than six hundred thousand (600,000) nor more than eight hundred
thousand (800,000), according to the last preceding Federal Census, and
having eight (8) or more district courts, the judges of the several district
courts of such counties shall receive, in addition to the salary paid by the
State to them and to other district judges of this State, a sum of money, to
be approved by the Commissioners Court of said counties, of not less than
Six Thousand Dollars ($6,000) nor more than Eight Thousand Dollars
($8,000) annually, to be paid in equal monthly installments out of the Gen-
eral Fund or Officers Salary Fund of such counties, for all services ren-
dered to said counties and for performing administrative services. The
Commissioners Court of said counties shall make proper budget provi-
sions for the payment thereof. Any district judge of the State who may
be assigned to sit for the judge of any district court in such counties un-
der the provisions of Article 200a, Revised Civil Statutes, may, while so
serving, receive in addition to his necessary expenses, additional compen-
sation from county funds in an amount not to exceed the difference be-
tween the pay of such visiting judge from all sources and that pay re-
ceived from all sources by district judges in the counties affected by the
provisions of the Act, such amount to be paid by the county upon approval
of the presiding judge in which said court is located.
Sec. 2. This Act shall be cumulative of existing laws, and any
laws in conflict herewith are repealed to the extent of the conflict only.
Sec. 3. The fact that district judges in the more densely populated
counties have heavier living expenses, and that the additional compensa-
tion paid them for administrative services performed by them in such
counties should be made certain create an emergency and an imperative
public necessity that the Constitutional Rule requiring bills to be read
on three several days in each House be suspended, and said Rule is hereby
suspended; and that this Act shall take effect and be in force from and
after its passage, and it is so enacted.
Passed the House, April 4, 1963, by a non-record vote; House refused
to concur in Senate amendments, April 23, 1963, and requested ap-
pointment of Conference Committee to consider differences between
two Houses; House adopted Conference Committee Report, May 1,
