Fee system inquiry to lock in by Texas committee
AUSTIN June 18 The fee investigation for the Texas General Senate Committee will study pay for public officers to verify claims and guard against fraud rather than set crime costs.

Senator Tom DeBerry proposes a constitutional amendment to abolish the fee system in counties over 50 000 population, to be voted on August 24.
