    1-2  relating to the creation of the County Court at Law No. 3 of Bell

    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  Section 25.0161, Government Code, is amended to
    1-6  read as follows:
    1-7        Sec. 25.0161.  Bell County.  Bell County has the following
    1-8  statutory county courts:
    1-9              (1)  County Court at Law No. 1 of Bell County; <and>
   1-10              (2)  County Court at Law No. 2 of Bell County; and
   1-11              (3)  County Court at Law No. 3 of Bell County.
   1-12        SECTION 2.  Notwithstanding Section 25.0161, Government Code,
   1-13  as amended by this Act, the County Court at Law No. 3 of Bell
   1-14  County is created January 1, 1999, or on an earlier date determined
   1-15  by the commissioners court by an order entered on its minutes.
   1-16        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-17  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-18  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-19  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-20  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-21  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-22  passage, and it is so enacted.
