Important Ordering Information
Please place two separate orders if you would like to purchase both “Pre-order publications” and “Current publications”. One order should contain only Pre-Order Publications and the other order should contain only Current Publications. If an order includes both “Pre-order publications” and “Current publications”, the entire order will be shipped once all publications are available.

Appellate Rules & Parole Laws

Because of the continued growth of codes amended by the legislature, the 2021 code books will omit the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure and parole laws (Gov’t Code ch. 508). We will post PDF versions of both, available to download for free here.
