§ 15.130. Quotation marks.

 (a)  Use. Quotation marks should not be overused. In legislative drafting quotation marks are usually used only to enclose:

   (1)  Titles or texts of statutes referred to or incorporated by reference.

   (2)  Defined words or phrases.

 (b)  Location of punctuation. Periods and commas are placed inside quotation marks, as a general rule. Other punctuation marks normally go outside the quotation marks, unless they are part of the matter quoted.
