Texas Railroads Reform Act Amends Incorporation Rules
Texas laws from the 1889 session amend Article 4101 to require railroad articles of incorporation to include name, route, principal office, duration, capital stock, organizers, and initial board. Additional amendments set minimum construction milestones and potential forfeiture of corporate existence for failure to begin or complete miles, with an emergency clause taking effect immediately. The act also mandates depot construction at crossings, with penalties for noncompliance and duties on attorneys general to enforce.
