This latest edition of Texas Law in Layman's Language breaks through the cumbersome technical jargon surrounding our laws and makes them easy to understand. Updated to include the latest changes in the law, this handy reference clearly explains current legislation. The book is divided into two sections--criminal law and civil law. The civil law section, which has been expanded to cover more family-related matters, addresses marriage/divorce issues, wills and estates, property laws, and damage suits and complaints. The criminal law section, including the latest changes to the state penal code, describes punishable offenses and their penalties, how criminal law is administered, and the procedures followed when a person is accused of a crime and must go to court.
