Law of Texas

The law of Texas is derived from the Constitution of Texas and consists of several levels, including constitutional law, statutory law, regulatory law, case law, as well as local laws and regulations. Each level establishes a framework for the relationship between the state, local governments, and its people. By defining power, responsibility, and the limitation of these entities, the law of Texas provides the structural and legal foundation upon which Texas and local governments operate and influence policy decisions across all local levels.
