I need to create a table of contents that has the section title and

to creat this so it can be automatically updated as I add to the
document.

my section titles appear like this:

Well Locations

20AAC 25.252 (c) 1

I would like the table of contents to appear like this:

Well Locations 20AAC 25.252 (c) 1...........................3

Is this posible? If so how do I set it up?

Can I create my own TOC template to do this?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I'll assume that you have already applied specific styles to the two
pieces of each title. I'll use "Heading 1" and "Heading 2" styles,
but any pair of styles (including ones you made up) will do, as long
as they were applied uniformly throughout the document.

You need to create a TC field for each title that builds up the
information you want in the table of contents.

First turn on display of hidden text by clicking the ¶ button,
because a TC field is automatically made hidden and you'll need to
see what you're doing.
Press Ctrl+F9 to insert a pair of field markers, and type the letters
TC between them. Then type a space and two double-quotes:

{ TC "" }

Between the double-quotes, press Ctrl+F9 again. Inside this pair of
markers, type the text shown below (or replace "Heading 1" with the
name of the style applied to the section titles):

{ TC "{StyleRef "Heading 1"}" }

Now put the cursor just before the last double-quote, type a tab
character, and press Ctrl+F9 a third time:

{ TC "{ StyleRef "Heading 1" } { }" }

Type in the text shown below (or replace "Heading 2" with the name of
the style applied to the regulation codes):

{ TC "{ StyleRef "Heading 1" } { StyleRef "Heading 2" }" }

I recommend that at this point you highlight the whole thing and make
it into an AutoCorrect entry. That would make it easier to insert in
many places rather than copying and pasting.

Put a copy of this TC field at the beginning of the paragraph
immediately after each regulation code. When you select it and press
F9 to update the field, the two interior StyleRef fields will make
hidden copies of the preceding section title and regulation code.

The final piece of this is to insert a table of contents that
displays only the information from the TC fields, not from the
regular headings. To do that, go into the Insert Table of Contents
dialog and click the Options button. Check the box for "Table entry
fields" and uncheck the boxes for "Styles" and "Outline levels".
Click OK there and in the TOC dialog.
