This Code is a codification of the ordinances of the City of Tyler of a general and permanent nature. As expressed in the original Adopting Ordinance, the Code supersedes all such ordinances not included therein or recognized as continuing in force by reference thereto.
The chapters of the Code are arranged in an order suggested by responsibilities within the City organization and grouped with departments that have responsibility for that section of the code and the sections within each chapter are catchlined to facilitate usage. Footnotes which tie related sections of the Code together and which refer to relevant provisions of the state law have been included. The source of each section is indicated by the history note appearing in parentheses at the end thereof. The absence of such a note indicates that the section was adopted in 1978 at the time of a prior codification. By use of the Comparative Table also appearing in the back of the volume, any ordinance included herein can be readily found in the Code. Citations to "Texas law" refer to Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes, unless otherwise described.
| Each particular item has been placed under several headings, some of the headings being couched in lay phraseology, others in legal terminology, and still others in language generally used by municipal officials and employees. There are numerous cross references within the index itself which stand as guideposts to direct the user to the particular item in which he is interested. |
