Description
In compliance with respondents' motion for rehearing we add this statement to our original opinion in the interest of clarity.
The word "void" as used in the statutes has various shades of meaning. It is rarely used in the sense of implying an absolute
nullity. The true sense in which it is used is to be determined from a consideration of the statute as a whole in the light
of the purpose sought to be accomplished by its enactment. Wiener v. Zwieb, 105 Texas 262, S.W. 771 and 147 S.W. 867; Southern National Insurance Company of Austin v. Barr, 148 S.W. 845; 67 C.J. 263 et seq. As thus considered, we think the word was not used in the statute under review in its strictest sense.
