Library Spotlight
We're excited to announce that the State Law Library will be featured in an upcoming Orientation to Law Library Collections Webinar, hosted by the Law Library of Congress.
The event on Thursday, September 18, is part of the State Law Libraries Outreach Project, which aims to strengthen partnerships between the Law Library of Congress and state law libraries nationwide. Our director Amy Small will share information about our legal collections and services we provide to Texans and beyond.
The Texas Legislature meets every two years to consider new laws. The most recent regular session ran from January 14th to June 2nd, 2025.
At the end of a regular legislative session, hundreds of bills are passed by the House and Senate. They are then sent to the governor for approval. See our post 89th Regular Legislative Session Kicks Off to learn about the Texas legislative process.
Great news! The VitalLaw database is now available to library patrons. The library's subscription focuses on two main subjects:
- Elder and Estates Law
- Section 1983 Litigation
