   1-21        Sec. 26.321.  TAYLOR COUNTY.  The County Court of Taylor
   1-22  County has the general jurisdiction of a probate court and juvenile
   1-23  jurisdiction as provided by Section 26.042(b) but has no other
   1-24  criminal or civil jurisdiction.
   1-25        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-26  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-27  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-28  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-29  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-30  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-31  passage, and it is so enacted.
