Building out the rest of this article

I think that there is lots of work to be done on this article, and taking inspiration from the child article about the Texas penal codes, I think it is feasible that each code can have it's own section with important cases and important laws themselves in accessible plain text.

For this wikipedia page, I plan on creating child articles for each of the subsections of the Texas Codes that are listed in order on this page.

In each child article I hope to provide a broad explanation of what that Title seeks to legislate, possible histories and recorded changes to each section, and subsections for important codes and laws from each section in plain, easy to understand language with explanations of the implications these laws could have.

To do this I will be referencing the codes themselves, both the annotated and non annotated versions which are mentioned on the page, but are wholly inaccessible to just about everyone. I will also probably bring in outside sources such as court filings and decisions, Texas A&M Law's articles on the Texas Legislature and Statutes, and the University of Texas's materials on the subject as well.

Peer Review for Jackspm10-PJHC

Hello Jackson, you did a great job in expanding the article! It was amazing that you created child articles to cover the 27 codes in Texas, that were not included before. I appreciated that for some child articles you included both a "History" and "Notable, Titles, Chapters, and Statues" section which made the content easier to digest. My only suggestion would be to add these sections to the child articles you end up devoting time to, in that way readers are able to understand them. In addition, I recommend adding a picture in your child articles as none were provided. Keep up the great work, I am excited to read the finished result!Rovalle234 (talk) 03:28, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
