Insurance law can be a state law issue, so this guide focuses on Texas. In general, when researching a topic within a substantive area of the law like insurance, 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. If you are also interested in interdisciplinary research, check out the materials listed under the Non-law Sources tab. Be sure to check out the current awareness resources below so that you stay abreast of developments throughout your research.
