matter has been received by this Department. We quote from
your letter as follows:
It is the desire of this office to ob-
tain an opinion from your office on the con-
struction of Article 1111-n, Chapter A, of the
Penal Code of the State of Texas, as to whether
or not this Article applies to the following
state of facts:
'A concern, situated here in Fort
Worth, known as 'Blue Bonnet Discount
Stamp Company", sells their stamps to
merchants throughout the State of Texas,
who, in turn, give the stamps to cus-
tomers. When the customer completes a
book which is given by the Blue Bonnet
Discount Stamp Company to place stamps
therein, the customer, in turn, can pre-
sent the book or books of stamps to the
Blue Bonnet Company; and they, in turn,
will give merchandise to redeem the
book or books presented by the customer.
This company does not sell merchandise,
but is engaged only in the business of
redeemaing the stamps heretofore mentioned.'
The question i.s: Whether or not the con-
duct of the business as outlined above, comes
within the purview of this Statute."
