A block group is designated by the 4-12 common first digit of all the blocks in the block group. For 4-13 example, blocks numbered 301, 342A, 342B, and 399Z located in a 4-14 single tract would all belong to the block group 3 for that tract, 4-15 and all the blocks in that tract beginning with a 3 would 4-16 constitute block group 3. 4-17 SECTION 3. (a) The changes made by this Act apply to the 4-18 election of the members of the Texas House of Representatives 4-19 beginning with the general election in 1996 for members of the 75th 4-20 Legislature. 4-21 (b) The changes made by this Act do not affect the 4-22 membership or districts of the Texas House of Representatives of 4-23 the 74th Legislature. If a vacancy occurs in the office of a 4-24 member of the Texas House of Representatives of the 74th 4-25 Legislature and a special election is held to fill the vacancy, the 4-26 election shall be held in the district as it existed when the 4-27 vacating member was elected. 5-1 SECTION 4. The importance of this legislation and the 5-2 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an 5-3 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the 5-4 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several 5-5 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended, 5-6 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its 5-7 passage, and it is so enacted.
