	§ 30.001. PURPOSE OF TITLES 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, AND 
13.              

Text of section effective until April 1, 2007
	(a)  This title and Titles 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 13 are 
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 title and Titles 3, 5, 6, 7, 
8, 9, 11, and 13 is to make the law encompassed by the titles 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		(3)  eliminating repealed, duplicative, 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.
