One of the jobs of the Texas Secretary of State is to convert laws into code. When a law is passed and signed by the governor, it then goes to the appropriate place in the statutory code. According to the text, it was added to the statutory code as a result of a law passed in 1997 in the 75th regular session of the legislature.
