While the first portion of Subdivision (d) prohibits
payment after one year to the claimant entitled to receive un-
employment benefits, and makes no reference to paying the claim-
ant's assigns, the final clauses of both paragraphs of the Sub-
division prohibit payment, after the one-year period, on the
warrant itself. We are, therefore, of the opinion that the one-
year prohibition is applicable to both the initial payee of the
warrant and to his assigns.
We are also of the opinion that Article 522lb-7, Sub-
division (d), impliedly amended Article 4365, so as to constitute
an exception to the broad terms of Article 4365 in the case of
recipients of warrants for unemployment compensation benefits.
You are advised that the Comptroller may not issue a duplicate
warrant for unemployment compensation benefits after one year
from the date of issuance of the original warrant.
Your first question is, therefore, answered in the
negative. As your first question has been so answered, it is
not necessary for us to answer your second question.
SUMMARY
Under the provisions of Article 5221b-7, sub-
division (d), Vernon's Civil Statutes, the Comp-
troller is not authorized to issue a duplicate
warrant for payment of unemployment compensation
benefits to the initial payee of the warrant, or
to his assigns, more than one year after the date
of issuance of the original warrant.
Very truly yours,
.CRAWFOe C. MARTIN
Attorney General of Texas
