Smith Threatens Special Session Over Insurance Board Reform
Texas Governor Preston Smith, in a telecast, urged a special session to abolish the three member State Insurance Board, charging it is dominated by the industry. He blames the Senate for blocking longtime ally Larry Teaver and cites a possible January regular session if public support grows. He also vetoed items totaling 6.35 million dollars from the 1973 appropriations, including funds for university facilities and highway planning, signaling broad regulatory reform and budget actions.

Supreme Court to hear October arguments on diverse rulings
The Supreme Court agreed to hear October arguments on a Wichita Falls divorce settlement granting a wife a $40,000 community property share in her husband’s medical practice. Other rulings uphold water shutoff for unpaid garbage fees, a Houston doctor’s $134,150 damages for negligent care, and reducing a once-wealthy father’s child support. The court also favors pausing trials when incompetence appears, allows questioning about witness threats, and discusses auto insurance rate cuts and no fault plans. Grand juries remain limited to investigating offenses and reporting indictments. House records may be disclosed in certain cases.
