Municipal Codes in Texas
Chapter 7 of Researching Texas Law (133-34) provides a brief summary of how to locate municipal codes in several Texas cities. The best sites for locating these codes are below:
Municode is by far the most thorough source for municipal codes. It contains the full text of codes for dozens of Texas cities, large and small. Most of these codes appear to be up-to-date.
American Legal Publishing: Texas
American Legal Publishing also provides the full text of several codes, though this list is not as thorough as Municode. Most of the codes are from cities in north Texas.
Chapter 7 also refers to the LexisNexis Municipal Codes Web Library, but this only contains the code from one Texas city (El Paso).
I stumbled on this page and thought I’d let you know, you’ve missed the only codification company actually in Texas. My company, Franklin Legal Publishing, provides codification services for several hundred Texas cities. We have many codes posted online. They can be accessed through our website (www.franklinlegal.net) From there, click on “Codes”
Thanks.
