AUSTIN, Oct. 15-(UP)-An act of the legislature to require licensing and regulation of travel bureaus was held invalid today by the Texas court of criminal appeals.
The act is the third attempt of a Texas legislature to regulate travel bureaus. Previous acts of 1933 and 1935 also were held invalid by the same court.
The decision handed down today was in habeas corpus proceedings appealed from Dallas by S. L. Garland. Garland was charged with violating the new travel bureau act passed last May, by operating without a license from the Texas railroad commission.
Justice Harry N. Graves' opinion said:
"Such a business is but an innocent one of getting two or more people in connection with each other in order that they might enter into a private contract relative to traveling . . . and not susceptible to an exercise of the police power of the state."
