Excerpt from The Home-Rule Act of Texas The great significance of the home rule amendment to the Constitution of Texas, adopted by popular vote in November, 1912, and of the enabling act passed in April, 1913, in exeem tion of the amendment is shown by the fact that no less than thirty-nine cities of Texas have already taken action under this legislation. This represents about seventy-five per cent of the cities over 5000 population in the state, which by the terms of the amendment are entitled to take advantage of the home rule charter powers. Of these thirty-nine cities that have ai ready taken action, twenty have adopted entirely new. Charters and the rest have amended existing charters. Interest in the subject of home rule charter making continues to increase in the cities of Texas and as all action of this kind must be based on the constitutional amendment and enabling act there is a great demand for copies of this legislation. The enabling act, which repeats verbatim in its first paragraph the constitutional amendment, is not available in separate form but only in the general laws of the Regular Session of the Thirty third Legislature. As this source is not easily available to the many persons interested in examining the law with a view to determining the advisability of taking action thereunder in a particular city it has seemed desirable, in view of the many requests for the same, to prepare a copy of the law for free distribution to all citizens of Texas. This should not only be of value in aiding persons already interested in the possibilities of home rule charter action in their city, but may also help to stim ulate interest among others who have not had the opportunity of seeing what the home rule legislation offers. In the hope that both of these objects may in a large measure be fulfilled the present reprint of the home rule amendment and enabling act has been prepared.
