Plain English

Section 301.001 of the Texas Property Code establishes the official short title of the chapter, designating it as the 'Texas Fair Housing Act.' This title serves as the formal name under which the broader set of fair housing provisions found in Tex. Prop. Code §§ 301.001–301.171 is collectively known and cited. The short-title provision itself does not create rights or obligations but anchors the legal identity of the entire chapter.
