      NEW 2024 Supplement with Purchase of 2023 Edition!

      The  Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code is sometimes called the “bread and butter” of litigation practice, and Bearings has developed the preeminent annotated edition for Texas practitioners. We have annotated over 2500 cases—leaving no stone unturned—to provide greater understanding of the code and to expedite research. Additional unique features, such as topical annotation headings and highlighted statutory definitions, facilitate quick and thorough statutory interpretation and analysis. And in Bearings’ CPRC, you’ll also find the Causes of Action Tables, which provide all the information you need, at a glance, to quickly assess the “key aspects” to over 60 causes of action. The 2023 edition now comes with a 2024 Supplement so you are up to date on all the important cases!
