How do content updates work for the Online manuals?
With TexasBarBooks Online there is no need to make additional supplement purchases or take any action to get updates. The site will automatically reflect these updates, and we will notify users of the changes made. Supplements to the hard copy and digital download versions of our manuals incorporate changes in legislation and case law as frequently as every one to two years, depending on the manual. Because all of the content in the manual is subject to a rigorous process of legal interpretation, writing, editing, and typesetting, the next update on the site will take place near the time of the print update.
