Article 77 - Fines, Penalties, Forfeitures and Costs
3815 - Hearing Before County Judge.

§ 3815. Hearing before county judge. 1. Upon the appearance of the
parties, or upon due proof of service of the notice and copy of the
account, the county judge shall examine into the matter and hear the
proofs and allegations presented by the parties, and decide by order
whether or not the account, or any and what portion thereof, ought
justly to be charged upon the district, with costs and disbursements to
such officer.

2. Such costs and disbursements shall not exceed the sum of thirty
dollars, and the decision of the county judge shall be final; but no
portion of such account shall be so ordered to be paid which shall
appear to such judge to have arisen from the wilful neglect or
misconduct of the claimant. The account with the oath of the party
claiming the same shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness
thereof. The county judge may adjourn the hearing from time to time, as
justice shall seem to require.
