Dallas Judge Tells
IP’s Of New Law
A 1 new law which protects both
the landlord and tenant is virtu
ally unknown among most jus
tices of the peace, a Dallas jurist
declared here Monday.
Judge Joe B. Brown Jr., told
justices and constables attending
the annual Justice of the Peace
and Constable School, that al
though they cannot administer
the new law, it “is useful to ad
vise the irate landlord who is
complaining of deception.”
Enacted in 1967, the law, Arti
cle 1553A of the Penal Code,
makes it a violation for any per
son to obtain occupancy of prem
ises by fraud, trick, deception,
Freshmen Get
Briefing From
Company Reps

Six engineers opened the Spring
Visiting Engineer Program here
Monday.
They are the first of 24 engi
neers across the state providing
freshmen engineering students
with a better understanding of
engineering and its application
through cooperation of visiting
engineers from various industries,
said James H, Earle.
Earle, associate professor in
charge of Engineering Graphics
identified the engineers as J. M.
West, Standard Oil; W. T. Asbill,
Union Carbide; A1 Sexton, TRW
Systems Group; C. N. Segnar,
Standard Oil, and L. A. Larrey,
Union Carbide. The men are
from Houston. The sixth engi
neer, C. C. Crittenden, Gulf Oil,
is from Corpus Christi.
OTHER ENGINEERING teams
visiting during the week include
Larry Denton, Mobil Oil, Corpus
Christi; W. A. Ball Jr., Central
Power and Light, Corpus Christi;
and E. H. Korth, U. S. Industries,
Houston, on March 18.
Two teams Wednesday are W.
L. Dover, Mobil Oil, Corpus
Christi; Ben Elliott, Lufkin Foun
dry, Lufkin; Jerry Neel, Petro-
Ter Chemical, Houston; Ray
Shearer, TRW Systems, Houston;
and D. E. Wunsch, Collins Radio,
Dallas,
Thursday teams include Jim
McCurry, Alex Gillies and Jack
Pool, TRW Systems, Houston,
and L. D. Westenburg, Col
lins Radio, Dallas; Glen Brown,
Forrest and Cotton, Dallas, and
A. I. Middlebrook, Collins Radio,
Dallas.
false or fraudulent representa
tions, Brown said.
“It includes especially the giv
ing of payment for rental by a
worthless check or a stop-pay
ment check,” Brown added. He
pointed out the law provides a
penalty of a maximum fine of
$200, or not exceeding 30 days in
jail, or both.
JUSTICE COURTS do not have
the power to assess a jail sen
tence except for non-payment of
fines.
“We have to send persons to
the district attorney and the case
goes to county court,” Brown ex
plained.
Brown said the law provides
that any landlord who shall grant
occupancy of any premises under
the same conditions, or “who gives
in refund any sum, a check that
is worthless or shall stop pay
ment, shall be guilty in a like
manner.”
The Dallas justice said the new
law “punishes the tenant and
landlord who might be unscrupu
lous.”
His office has not become in
volved in many such cases.
“I guess people just don’t know
the law exists,” he reasoned.
BROWN, WHOSE office han
dles an estimated 800 eviction
suits a year, cited a second law
passed in 1967, Article 6236A,
which does not change eviction
procedures, but does specify the
“time length of notice that a
tenant shall have.”
In other words, Brown said, a
tenant paying his rent on a
monthly basis, must be allowed a
month to seek new quarters if
asked to move.
“This does not apply in cases
where the tenant breaches his
rental contract, for example —
failure to pay rent,” he continued.
Brown noted that the statute
was adopted to “clarify the com
mon law. There had never been
a statutory provision defining
‘reasonable notice’ which previ
ously prevailed.”
“THERE WAS SOME doubt
about what was sufficient,” he
added
Brown was one of several
speakers opening the three-day
conference here studying changes
and procedures in the law. Ninety
persons attended Monday.
The school is sponsored by the
Engineering Extension Service’s
Police Training Division. Sessions
will be held in the Memorial Stu
dent Center through Wednesday
noon.
The program is directed by Ira
E. Scott, chief of the Police Train
ing Division.
On Friday visiting engineers
are Ben Scholl, City Public Serv
ice Board, San Antonio; Mark
Forrester, The Orloff Corp., and
Dell Davidson, TRW Systems,
Houston.
THE ENGINEERS will visit
four freshmen engineering classes
in two hour sessions.
Earle pointed out the 720 par
ticipating students are second
semester freshmen enrolled in
Engineering Graphics.
“These students have a limited
background in mathematics and
sciences since this is their first
year of college,” he said.
All students are enrolled in
engineering design graphics. The
course is structured to introduce
the student to engineering design,
problem solving, engineering ap
plications and engineering com-
municatibns.
“Emphasis is placed on the use
of the graphical process to orig
inate and develop ideas as well
as present them in an engineering
form,” Earle added.
Directors To Dine
With Faculty-Staff
Texas A&M’s annual Board of
Directors - Faculty - Staff Dinner
will be held April 25 in Sbisa
Hall, announced President Earl
Rudder.
Rudder appointed a committee,
headed by Robert G. Cherry, as
sistant to the president, to plan
the stag dinner.
While listed as a stag event,
the A&M president emphasized
that women faculty-staff mem
bers are invited.
“A dinner such as the one
planned next month offers us an
excellent opportunity to become
better acquainted with other
members of the A&M family, and
particularly with our board of di
rectors,” Rudder observed. “We
feel it is important to get to
gether at least once a year.”
Tickets for the dinner will soon
be available through department
heads, Cherry noted.
