Legislative Update

Yesterday marked the halfway point of the 82nd legislature in Texas.  Now with only 69 days left there are a series of bills that are moving through the legislative process that will have a direct impact on the civil justice and criminal justice system in Texas.

If you are interested in the process of how a House or Senate Bill becomes a law in Texas, you can see a diagram of the legislative process here or you can read about it more here.

If you are interested in searching for specific bills, or searching for a bill by the text of the bill you can do so here.

Additional entries about specific bills will follow soon.
