COUNTY COURTS.
Their Jurisdiction is Greatly Enlarged
BY Supreme Court Decision.


The opinion rendered by Chief Justice
Gaines Thursday in the supreme court
OF Texas, Hynopsis OF which is given
below will be Of interest to local courts
IN Fort Worth as well as throughout
the state, as by its provisions their jur-
isdlction is largely extended.
John Dean VS.. state ex rel.-on mo-
tion for rehearing: In the former opin-
ion the court was in error in saying
that under amended section 16, article
. OF the constitution the county courts
have power to issue the extraordinary
.wriis of Injunction and mandamus
only when necessary to enforce their
Jurisdiction" Tho original section
read as follows. "And the county
courts and the Judges thereof shall
have power to issue writs OF mandamus,
injunction and all other writs necessary
to the enforcement OF the Jurisdiction
Of said courts" The section as amend.
ed omits the word "other'' and this
omission had escaped the notice OF this
court. 1t results from previous de-
cisions that the omission materially
changes the meaning and enlarges the
power of the county court to- Issue
writs of mandamus and Injunction C5S
rex SIS; % Tex. 99D. However. the
change does not effect the auestinns
certified TO this court In the nresent
case. 1t is a proceeding in the nature
or n quo warranto to try the titIa ~
an office, and the section as amended
does not confer jurisdiction upon Inc
county court over such a case, n was
held In the former opinion that IN
general provision, which oonfers tpriss
diction TO hear and determine causes
in which the value OF the thing In cons
troversy is $500 or more and does no,
exceed $1,000 did not give jurIsdietion
