Aransas Pass Loses Mandamus Bid On Bond Issue
In a closed session the Texas Supreme Court refused the city of Aransas Pass leave to file a mandamus to force the attorney general to approve a $10,000 bond issue for street improvements. The ruling ends a test of the commission government incorporation act of the legislature which allows cities over 10,000 to adopt a charter without legislative approval in certain cases. The attorney general has consistently declined to approve bonds under the act, arguing the act lacks provision for such issuance and is vague in other aspects.
