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 Section 323.007, Government 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(3) eliminating repealed, duplicative, unconstitutional,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. (New.)
Sec. 1.002. CONSTRUCTION OF CODE. Chapter 311, Government Code (Code
Construction Act), applies to the construction of each provision in this
code except as otherwise expressly provided by this code. (New.)
Sec. 1.003. REFERENCE IN LAW TO STATUTE REVISED BY CODE. A reference
in a law to a statute or a part of a statute revised by this code is
considered to be a reference to the part of this code that revises that
statute or part of that statute. (New.)
