  • Texas Statutes and Codes Pathfinder
    THURGOOD MARSHALL SCHOOL OF LAW LIBRARY Pathfinder Series Itunu Sofidiya, Learning Resources Librarian Revised May 2015 Texas Statutes and Codes I. INTRODUCTION Texas is one of the few states that have retained a unified code, which uses a single alphanumeric system of numbering for all statutes. This arrangement proved too difficult to accommodate growth in statutory law. As a result, the Texas Legislative Council began work on a non- substantive revision of the Texas statutes in 1963. This large-scale project continues today. Material is being moved from the Vernon’s Annotated Revised Civil Statutes of the State of Texas and is being incorporated into individual annotated codes arranged by subject (for example, the Family Code). The current Texas Statutes are available on the Texas Legislature's website Texas Legislature Online. While the online version of the statutes contain only the language of the law, the Thurgood Marshall School of Law Library has a complete set of Vernon's Texas Codes Annotated which is available for patrons to use in the library. This set provides helpful annotations to case law and secondary sources relevant to a particular statute. II. LEGISLATIVE PROCESS IN TEXAS The Texas Legislature meets regularly in odd-numbered years for a maximum of 140 days beginning the second Tuesday in January. Along with the 140-day session, the Governor may call special sessions to consider other matters. Both the House and Senate members introduce bills in the first 60 days. After 60 days, there are restrictions on introducing a bill. When a bill is introduced, it is assigned a bill number such as S.B.

INCOME FROM SEPARATE PROPERTY: TOWARDS A THEORETICAL FOUNDATION THOMAS R. ANDREWS* I INTRODUCTION: THE PROBLEM STATED This article addresses an important area of historical disagreement among the community property states: the characterization of the rents, issues, and profits ("income") from separate property brought into or acquired during marriage Of the nine community property states, five characterize the income derived from separate property as separate property.2 The other four states characterize such income as community property.3 Although there have been scattered discussions of this issue throughout the community property case law and literature over the years, I have searched the literature in vain for a comprehen- sive treatment of the question.4 Certainly there has not been one in recent years. The issue is important because of the prevalence of separate property in marriages. Two societal phenomena are combining to cause increasingly more separate property to be brought into marriages.

    EGM/GPLVAW/2008/EP.12 22 August 2008 ENGLISH only United Nations Nations Unies United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime United Nations Division for the Advancement of Women Expert Group Meeting on good practices in legislation on violence against women United Nations Office at Vienna, Austria 26 to 28 May 2008 Laws on Violence against Women in the Philippines Expert Paper prepared by: Rowena V. Guanzon* Professor, University of the Philippines College of Law Steering Committee Member, Asia Cause Lawyers Network * The views expressed in this paper are those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of the United Nations. 1 EGM/GPLVAW/2008/EP.12 22 August 2008 ENGLISH only Background: Since 1995, violence against women (VAW) has captured the attention of the government and legislators in the Philippines, propelled by the demand of a growing women’s human rights movement and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, its Optional Protocol1 as well as other international conventions. The Beijing Conference on Women in 1995 heightened the demand of women’s rights advocates for laws protecting women from violence. Progressive reforms in laws protecting women was brought about by several factors beginning with the democratization process that began in the 1986 People Power Revolution after the fall of the Marcos dictatorship, the 1987 Constitution2 that has specific provisions on the rights of women and fundamental equality before the law of men and women, the increasing number of women’s organizations in the provinces with links to Metro Manila based women’s rights organizations,3 and the participation of women legislations who are becoming increasingly aware of the need for gender equality and the elimination of VAW.
