The provisions appearing in this and the following chapters and sections, so far as they are the same as those of ordinances existing at the time of the adoption of “The Revised Code of Civil and Criminal Ordinances of the City of Dallas”, shall be considered as a continuation thereof and not as new enactments.
The catchlines of the several sections of this code printed in boldface type are intended as mere catchwords to indicate the contents of the section and shall not be deemed or taken to be titles of such sections, nor as any part of the section, nor, unless expressly so provided, shall they be so deemed when any of such sections, including the catchlines, are amended or re-enacted.
It is hereby declared to be the intention of the city council that the sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, and phrases of this code are severable, and if any phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph or section of this code shall be declared unconstitutional or invalid by the valid judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, such unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect any of the remaining phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs and sections of this code, since the same would have been enacted by the city council without the incorporation in this code, of any such unconstitutional or invalid phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph or section.
