### 1/5 — Would be nice

*2023-05-31*

Paid for it for years, app will not refresh Code any newer than 2017
🤷🏻‍♀️

### 5/5 — Great resource

*2023-03-30*

I love having many codes at my fingertips. I would, however, appreciate and update to incorporate changes and amendments to the Property Code in particular and other codes as well.

### 2/5 — Excellent App

*2018-12-23*

I use this App almost daily. Quick (searchable)access to code and to google scholar. If you’re in court everyday and have an iPhone this is perfect. 

The ONE major exception is WHERE IS CRIMINAL PROCEDURE!! Please add it.

### 2/5 — No Estates Code?

*2017-10-20*

Wills/Trusts has TWO categories, one of which is empty, and I can NOT find or download the Estates Code (formerly Probate Code).

### 4/5 — Very Useful App

*2014-10-22*

Extremely useful app. Please keep up the development. Very convenient to have access to statutes in tis form.

### 5/5 — Outstanding Resource

*2013-10-14*

Always my first go-to for TX law. App is quick and text formatted for easy reading. The sections are easy to navigate as well.

### 5/5 — No reason to pay West!

*2013-06-24*

Good interface and updated Jan 2012 with new statutes.  Once downloaded, wifi not necessary to search statutes so excellent courthouse companion.  Ditch the west softbound books,,

### 5/5 — Is a good addition to your toolbox

*2013-04-25*

If you practice in Texas, simply having the code around is a great thing. Being able to do that by lugging your iPad around instead of O'Connor's is awesome.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-02-26*

Worth the download.

### 5/5 — Top Notch Legal Research App

*2013-02-25*

Very useful app that I use constantly because it gets me the law I need when I need it.  Very simple to use. Have recommended it to others and will continue to do so.  Need to add Code of Criminal Procedure.
