Texas Statutes are the laws enacted by the Texas Legislature, which consists of the Texas House of Representatives and the Texas Senate. These statutes cover a wide range of topics, including criminal law, family law, and property law, providing a legal framework for the state of Texas. The statutes are organized into codes, such as the Texas Penal Code and the Texas Family Code, making it easier for citizens and legal professionals to find relevant laws. They are regularly updated to reflect changes in society and legal standards, ensuring that the laws remain current and applicable.
