CIVIL CODE

SECTION 994-998

994. Instruments essential to the title of real property, and which
are not kept in a public office as a record, pursuant to law, belong
to the person in whom, for the time being, such title may be vested,
and pass with the title.

996. Whenever fur bearing animals, which are by their nature known
as wild animals, have been brought into, or born in, restraint or
captivity upon any farm or ranch for the purpose of cultivating or
pelting their furs, such animals, together with their offspring or
increase, shall be the subjects of ownership, lien, and all kinds of
absolute and other property rights, the same as purely domestic
animals, in whatever situation, location, or condition such fur
bearing animals may thereafter come or be, and regardless of their
remaining in or escaping from such restraint or captivity. Such fur
bearing animals shall receive the same protection of law, and in the
same way and to the same extent shall be the subject of trespass or
larceny as other personal property and shall be considered and
classified as domestic animals for the purpose of and within the
meaning of any statute or law relating generally to domestic animals,
other than dogs and cats or other pets, or relating to farming, to
animal husbandry, or to the encouragement of agriculture, unless any
such statute or law is impossible of application to such fur bearing
animals.

997. In this state, for any purpose, porcelain painting and stained
glass artistry shall be considered a fine art and not a craft.

998. Any private vendor of electronic data processing equipment or
telecommunications goods and services may sell or lease equipment,
goods, or services to a private school for the same price and on
similar terms as the vendor sells or leases the equipment, goods, or
services to a public school or school district.
