OPINION
MORRIS, Justice.
In this case we address the legal consequences of Dallas County collecting bail bond approval fees for a number of years before the Texas Supreme Court declared such fees to be unauthorized. We address the extent of liability of Dallas County as well as the liability of the Dallas County Sheriff, Jim Bowles, who collected the fees for Dallas County. We also address whether a statutory penalty may be imposed on Sheriff Bowles for being the officer who collected the fees. Incidental to these determinations, we address the statute of limitations to be applied in this ease.
