Have you ever needed to see how a statute read on a particular date in time? You also probably know how difficult it can be to locate this information! While the Law Library and fee databases have this information sometimes its useful to be able to go to the internet and check a free source, like Texas Statutes by Date.
The Texas Constitution and Statutes site now has a feature, Statutes by Date, that allows users to see how a statute looks on a particular date; anytime from today back through 2004.
To do this go to their webpage, enter the date you’re interested in viewing in the calendar, select the code you need (code, article/chapter, and article/section) and click the “reset” button.
This is a great free resource that can be used by anyone to find those sometimes difficult to locate older statutes!
