Legal Research
Library Spotlight
Following this year’s regular legislative session, Governor Greg Abbott called two special sessions. The Texas Legislature met to consider additional laws on topics picked by the governor.
- The First Called Session ran from July 21 to August 15. No bills were passed.
- The Second Called Session ran from August 15 to September 4. The governor has signed 31 bills and resolutions from this session.
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!
