The Legislative Reference Library's Cross Reference Tables allow you to convert chapter numbers found in session law citations which appear in large type following the text of each statute in Vernon's Texas Statutes and Codes Annotated to their corresponding bill numbers. Likewise, if you have a bill number, but not the chapter number, you can use the table to make the conversion. Complete tables, sorted either in chapter- or bill-number order since the 48th Legislative session are also available.

The General and Special Laws of Texas, often referred to as the "session laws," constitute a complete set of all bills passed into law by each session of the Texas Legislature. Session laws are organized into chapters, with each chapter consisting of a single "Act," or bill. As bills are passed into law during a legislative session, the Secretary of State assigns each Act a corresponding chapter number. Following each legislative session, the Acts are arranged in chapter-number order and are published as a bound set by the office of the Secretary of State.
