out having displayed thereon and at-
tached thereto two license number
plates, one plate at the front and
one at the rear, which have been
duly and lawfully assigned for said
vehicle for the current year, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor; this shall
not apply to dealers operating ve-
hicles under present provisions of
the law.
Sec. 5-a. Any person who shall
directly or indirectly enter into any
agreement with a commissioners'
court of any county in the State of
Texas, or any officer or agent of said
court or county, that he will regis-
ter or cause to be registered any
motor vehicle, trailer or semi-trailer,
in said county in consideration of the
use by said county of the funds de-
rived from said registration in the
purchase of any property of any kind
or character, or in consideration of
anything or any act to be done or
performed by the commissioners'
court, or any of its agents or of-
ficers or any county officer, shall be
guilty of a bribery and shall be sub-
ject to the same penalty as provided
by law for the offense of bribery.
The registration of each separate ve-
hicle shall constitute a separate of-
fense. The agreement and/or con-
spiracy to register shall constitute a
separate offense. Any person, firm,
or corporation who shall make agree-
ments as provided herein, or seek to
make such agreements, shall be re-
strained by injunction by the county
or district attorney of the county in
which said motor vehicle is regis-
tered, or upon application of the At-
torney General of the State of Texas.
Sec. 6. Any person who operates
a road-tractor, motorcycle, trailer, or
semi-trailer upon the public high-
ways of this State any time during
any month of a motor vehicle regis-
tration year without having attached
thereto and displayed on the rear
thereof, a license number plate duly
and lawfully assigned therefor for
the current year shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor.
Nothing herein contained shall be
construed as changing or repealing
any law with reference to any re-
quirement to pay or not to pay a
license or registration fee or the
amount thereof not expressly enum-
erated in Sections 1, 2, and 3 hereof.
Sec. 7. Any person operating any
motor vehicle, trailer, or semi-trailer
upon the highways of this State on
and after April 1st of any motor ve-
3-Jour. 2hicle registration year with license
plate or plates for any preceding
year attached or displayed, shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.
Sec. 8. Any person convicted of a
misdemeanor for a violation of Sec-
tion 5, Section 6, or Section 7 of this
Act shall be fined in any sum not
exceeding Two Hundred Dollars
($200).
Sec. 9. The fact that annual
motor vehicle registration and license
fees are now required to be made
each year in January, and that many
other taxes, State, county, and city,
fall due in that month, thus placing
an unduly heavy tax burden on the
taxpayers in that month, and the
further fact that many owners of
motor vehicles were not able this
year to pay the annual fees before
date of accrual of penalties, create
an emergency and an imperative
public necessity that the Constitu-
tional rule, requiring bills to be read
on three several days in each House,
be suspended, in order that this Act
shall take effect and be in full force
and effect from and after its passage
and said rule is hereby suspended,
and it is so enacted.
