<br /> applicable state laws, City Charter provisions, and any other laws that may be enacted in
<br /> the future by the Texas Legislature, or amendments to the Constitution and the Charter of
<br /> the City of Paris. Furthermore, the City Council of the City of Paris reserves the absolute
<br /> right, upon notice and hearing, which said notice shall be given to the Grantees not less
<br /> than ten (10) days before such hearing, to absolutely terminate this grant and franchise for
<br /> any violation of the terms and provisions of this ordinance.
