Relating to statutory construction.

This Texas bill (HB 3393) changes how courts interpret state laws by requiring judges to focus solely on the written text of statutes, not on what lawmakers intended or what was said during debates. It prohibits courts from considering legislative history, such as committee reports, lawmaker statements, or debate records, when interpreting laws. The bill also clarifies that "shall" creates a mandatory duty and "must" establishes a requirement. These changes would apply to all court decisions interpreting Texas statutes, affecting how judges rule on legal cases.
