Legal Research
Library Spotlight
We recently completed a project to make historical legal research more efficient. Old volumes of Vernon’s Texas Statutes and Codes Annotated and the corresponding pocket parts were moved to a publicly accessible area of the library mezzanine.
These key resources are now housed in one location, making it easier to trace the development of Texas law. This has also freed up shelf space for heavily used volumes like Texas Jurisprudence, case reporters, and session laws.
We hope to see you at the library for some historical legislative research!
The Texas Legislature meets every two years to consider new laws. The most recent regular session ran from January 14th to June 2nd, 2025.
At the end of a regular legislative session, hundreds of bills are passed by the House and Senate. They are then sent to the governor for approval. See our post 89th Regular Legislative Session Kicks Off to learn about the Texas legislative process.
