   1-23  relating to district offices of the Texas Department of
   1-24  Transportation.
   1-25        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
   1-26        SECTION 1.  Subsection (a), Article 6663h, Revised Statutes,
   1-27  is amended to read as follows:
   1-28        (a)  For the purposes of performing the department's duties,
   1-29  the commission shall divide the state into not more than 25 <18>
   1-30  districts.  A district may not have more than one district office.
   1-31  The department may have as many offices for maintenance and
   1-32  construction personnel in a district as the commission determines
   1-33  necessary.
   1-34        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-35  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-36  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-37  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-38  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-39  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-40  passage, and it is so enacted.
