GOVERNMENT CODE

TITLE 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS

CHAPTER 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS

Sec. 1.001.  PURPOSE OF CODE.  (a)  This code is enacted as a part of the state's
continuing statutory revision program, begun by the Texas Legislative Council
in 1963 as directed by the legislature in the law codified as Chapter 323 of this
code. The program contemplates a topic-by-topic revision of the state's general
and permanent statute law without substantive change.
(b)  Consistent with the objectives of the statutory revision program, the
purpose of this code is to make the law encompassed by this code more
accessible and understandable, by:
(1)  rearranging the statutes into a more logical order;
(2)  employing a format and numbering system designed to facilitate citation
of the law and to accommodate future expansion of the law;
(3)  eliminating repealed, duplicative, unconstitutional, expired, executed,
and other ineffective provisions; and
(4)  restating the law in modern American English to the greatest extent
possible.

Acts 1985, 69th Leg., ch. 479, Sec. 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1985.


Sec. 1.002.  CONSTRUCTION OF CODE.  The Code Construction Act (Chapter
311 of this code) applies to the construction of each provision in this code,
except as otherwise expressly provided by this code.

Acts 1985, 69th Leg., ch. 479, Sec. 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1985.


Sec. 1.003.  INTERNAL REFERENCES.  In this code:
(1)  a reference to a title, chapter, or section without further identification is a
reference to a title, chapter, or section of this code; and
(2)  a reference to a subtitle, subchapter, subsection, subdivision, paragraph,
or other numbered or lettered unit without further identification is a reference
to a unit of the next larger unit of this code in which the reference appears.

Acts 1985, 69th Leg., ch. 479, Sec. 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1985.
