New Hot Check Law Takes Effect August 23
Texas and Whitewright merchants will face a tightened hot check statute effective August 23. The law mandates jail for passers of hot checks with fines up to 1000 dollars for first offenses and up to two years in jail, plus a 10 day notification period and registered letter to the check writer. Jurisdiction shifts from justice courts to higher venues for bad checks, and penalties apply to checks under fifty dollars with felony status for amounts over fifty.

Corn Belts Lead In Feed Cattle Slipping, Texas Rises
Texas feeds three times as many cattle as in 1958 and could market over 850000 head in 1963. The Corn Belt remains first in fed cattle but its share drops from 83 percent in the early 1930s to 67 percent in 1963 as western states and Texas increase output. Avacek notes a surge in large Texas feedlots and rising beef production while the state shifts from 13th to 6th in national importance for cattle feeding.
