Historical Texas Statutes

The library's digitization efforts have brought online over 100 years of historical Texas statutes. We provide free public access to digitized copies of Texas statutes from 1879 through 1984.

About Printed Statutes

In 1854, the state legislature authorized a commission to codify existing laws. The Penal Code and Code of Criminal Procedure were completed in 1856. The civil statutes followed in 1879. Subsequent revisions and recodifications followed in 1895 and 1911. In 1925, there was a reorganization of the statutes, which still serves as the basis for our current statutes.

Between the years of 1911 and 1925, there was not an “official” publication of Texas statutes even though the legislature continued to meet every other year to write and amend laws.

To fill in the gaps in the official statutes, publisher John Sayles and his son Henry Sayles compiled and published unofficial volumes of Texas statutes in 1914. Called “Vernon’s Sayles’” after the publisher, these volumes contain the text of statutes, valuable annotations, and indexes from 1911 through 1921.

After 1925, the evolution of the Texas statutes is more complicated. The statutes are not reprinted in their entirety after each legislative session. Instead, the few complete reprintings of the statutes are updated with supplemental volumes after regular legislative sessions, which occur every 2 years.

The library thanks Thomson Reuters, current copyright holders of the printed Texas statutes, for allowing us to provide access to the statutes from 1928 onward.

We recommend the PDFs for advanced research. Each file is bookmarked with a table of contents for navigation.
