460 honorable E. Y. Cunningham, Page 5 In view of Article 667-18, supra, it is our opin- ion that the licensees who have been prevented from pur- suing their oooupation for the full time to which they would be otherwise entitled, by reason of the adoption of local option in said county, are entitled to have refunded to them the proportionate amount of license fee levied and collected by the county covering the unexpired term. The refund should be made out of the fund in which the license fees were origin- ally placed. With reference to the refund of license fees paid to the State, your attention is directed to Opinion No. 0-1406 which holds in effect that there has been no specific appro- priation made by the Forty-sixth Legislature for the refund of said fees paid to the State for this bi-ennium. We are enclos- ing a copy of this opinion for your information. Trusting that the foregoing fully answers your inquiry, w are Yours very truly ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TEXAS By Ardell Williams Assistant AW:BB APPROVEDDEC 19, 1940 ATTONE GENERAL CLOSURE TEAS ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TEXAS
