Texas Supreme Court February 12, 1908, No. 1768 (Houston & Texas Central Railroad v. State)

Mr. Chief Justice Gaines

delivered the opinion of the court.

This is a certified question. The State sued the Houston & Texas Central Railroad Company to recover penalties denounced by the Act of April 17, 1905, which requires of railroad companies that water-closets be erected and maintained at their passenger depots and be kept lighted at night and in a cleanly condition.
