# law-lib.gamejia.xyz — Verbatim Texas Law (agent-readable mirror) This site serves VERBATIM Texas (and selected federal) law as plain Markdown, one file per chapter/article/rule/section, each tagged with provenance (source_url, sha256, fetched_at). It exists as a reliable, JavaScript-free replacement for the official Texas Constitution & Statutes portal, whose pages do not render for fetchers. Bodies are copied byte-for-byte and are never paraphrased, summarized, or otherwise altered. In addition to the verbatim text, the site publishes a compact, structured TOPIC INDEX distilled from per-chapter enrichment. This lets an LLM agent do "what Texas law applies to X" with no server and no embeddings: read the topic index, reason about which chapter matches, then fetch that chapter's verbatim text. The topic index is an AI-GENERATED NAVIGATION AID, NOT legal text — the verbatim .md/.json is the only authoritative source.

.(md|json) Federal rules: /federal/rules-/.(md|json) Per-code topic index: /statutes//topics.json (enriched chapters) Per-code TOC: /statutes//index.json (every chapter, lightweight) Global topic index: /index/topics.json (all enriched chapters, one fetch) Code catalog: /index/codes.json (codes, has_topics, links) Full manifest: /manifest.json (every file + sha256/source_url) Each .md = a whole chapter/article/rule: a YAML front-matter block (title, code, code_name, chapter, source_url, sha256, fetched_at) then the verbatim body. Each .json = {code, code_name, chapter, title, source_url, sha256, fetched_at, sections:[{section, catchline, body}]} where each section body is the EXACT verbatim text — fetch the .json to pull a single cited section without scanning the markdown. ## Workflow A — find the law that applies to a question For "what Texas law covers ": 1. GET /index/topics.json (everything) or /statutes//topics.json (one code). 2. REASON over the entries: match the user's question against each entry's questions_answered, summary, issue_tags, and synonyms. Pick the chapter(s) whose topic metadata best fits. (This is YOUR judgment — there is no server ranking. The metadata is an AI nav aid, so treat it as a hint, not an answer.) 3. GET that chapter's json_url (verbatim sections) or url (.md) for the actual law text + provenance. Cite from the verbatim body only. 4. Each topic entry has reviewed:true|false — true means a human verified the enrichment; false means machine-drafted. Either way, the law text governs. ## Workflow B — resolve a known citation 1. A cite like 'Estates Code Sec. 202.001' / 'Tex. Est. Code § 202.001': the CHAPTER is the part before the dot (202.001 -> 202). Map the code name to its abbreviation via the table below. 2. GET /statutes/ES/202.json and find the entry in sections[] with section == '202.001' (its body is the verbatim section), OR GET /statutes/ES/202.md and locate the line 'Sec. 202.001.' in the body. 3. Constitution: 'Art. I, Sec. 19' -> /constitution/1.json|md, section 'Sec. 19'. 4. Rules: the rule number is the filename, e.g. Rule 902 -> /rules-evidence/902.md. 5. Unsure of the path? GET /manifest.json or /index/codes.json and search. ## Texas statute code-abbreviation map (has_topics = topic index available) AG Agriculture Code (95 chapters) AL Alcoholic Beverage Code (62 chapters) BC Business & Commerce Code (134 chapters) BO Business Organizations Code (31 chapters) [topics] CP Civil Practice and Remedies Code (163 chapters) [topics] CR Code of Criminal Procedure (85 chapters) [topics] CV Vernon's Civil Statutes (26 chapters) ED Education Code (113 chapters) EL Election Code (109 chapters) ES Estates Code (130 chapters) [topics] FA Family Code (81 chapters) [topics] FI Finance Code (100 chapters) GV Government Code (494 chapters) HR Human Resources Code (62 chapters) HS Health and Safety Code (390 chapters) [topics] I1 Insurance Code - Not Codified (5 chapters) IN Insurance Code (388 chapters) [topics] LA Labor Code (83 chapters) [topics] LG Local Government Code (236 chapters) NR Natural Resources Code (60 chapters) OC Occupations Code (214 chapters) [topics] PE Penal Code (41 chapters) [topics] PR Property Code (97 chapters) [topics] PW Parks and Wildlife Code (67 chapters) SD Special District Local Laws Code (1321 chapters) TN Transportation Code (187 chapters) TX Tax Code (56 chapters) [topics] UT Utilities Code (64 chapters) WA Water Code (51 chapters) WL Auxiliary Water Laws (3 chapters) ## Other collections Texas Constitution: 18 files rules-civil-procedure: 644 files rules-evidence: 76 files ## Provenance guarantee Every .md and every .json carries source_url + sha256 + fetched_at. The .md body is byte-for-byte from the official source; the .json section bodies are exact verbatim slices of that body. Nothing in the verbatim text is paraphrased. ## Caveats - This is a MIRROR for retrieval convenience. ALWAYS re-verify against the official source_url in each file's front matter before relying on the text; statutes change and a mirror can lag. The sha256/fetched_at fields record when and what was captured. - This is NOT legal advice. It is raw primary-law text for research only. - The TOPIC INDEX (/index/topics.json, /statutes//topics.json) and any summary/questions_answered/issue_tags/synonyms are an AI-GENERATED navigation aid, NOT legal text. Use them only to locate the right chapter; quote the verbatim .md/.json for the actual law.
