Description
Our original opinion is withdrawn and the following opinion is substituted. This suit was brought in the 126th District Court of Travis County, Texas, by the West Texas Drilling of Hereford, Inc., a corporation, and other corporations and individuals who are water well drillers against the Texas Highway Commission, The State Highway Engineer, The Public Safety Commission, The Director of the Department of Public Safety, The Sheriff of Travis County as representative of all Sheriffs and Constables of the State of Texas, the Tax Collector of Travis County as representative of all Tax Collectors in the State of Texas. The action was brought against the above named defendants "in their official capacities" as heads of the above described offices and departments. The plaintiffs ask for a declaratory judgment in that the court construe certain provisions of Article 6675a-2, Vernons Ann.Civ.St., hereinafter set out as to the meaning of "machinery used solely for the purposes of drilling water wells" and also for an injunction against the above mentioned defendants, their agents and employees, prohibiting the defendants from arresting or prosecuting the plaintiffs for the operation of certain vehicles allegedly "machinery used solely for the purpose of drilling water wells" over the highways of this State. Plaintiffs further ask that the court issue a writ of mandamus ordering and commanding the defendants to authorize the County Tax Collectors to issue the limited registration plates to plaintiffs that are prescribed under Article 6675a-2, Sec. (c), for machinery used solely for the purpose of drilling water wells.
