Introduction
This research guide provides an overview of federal and Texas resources in the area of environmental law and litigation, with some energy law sources covered in passing.
In general, when researching a topic within a substantive area of the law, one should start with secondary sources to find the leading and most relevant primary law. Once you have some citations in hand, look them up in primary sources. Be sure to check out the current awareness resources so that you stay abreast of developments throughout your research. See the library's guide to the legal research process for a more general overview.
