[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] From the newsletter sent March 26, 2021. It’s been a whirlwind of a week here in Austin — many of you may have seen news articles highlighting some of the high profile (and often contentious) bills currently working their way through the Texas Legislature. Because of the intense rhetoric surrounding these issues, it can […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] From the newsletter sent March 17, 2021. Last Friday, we gave you an overview of the 23 bills that I have filed this session. Starting this week, I want to discuss some of the many other issues that are being worked on in the Texas House. I have frequently said that while the federal […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] From the newsletter sent March 12, 2021. Session has officially moved into full speed as we just passed the 60-day mark (of 140). This week, I had 4 bills that were heard in their respective committees. With any luck, we will be able to get one or more of them voted out of committee […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] From the newsletter dated March 5, 2021 This has been the been the busiest week of the session thus far, as most committees met for the first time, including Human Services.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] From the newsletter dated February 26, 2021 I hope that this letter finds each of you warmer and in better spirits than when I last sent out an update.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] From the newsletter dated February 16, 2021 There is considerable and justifiable frustration over the failures in the Texas electrical grid yesterday and continuing into today. Much time will be spent debating and trying to fix these issues over the coming weeks, months, and perhaps years. For now, I wanted to provide information I […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] From the newsletter dated February 15, 2021 With last week’s chair appointments and committee assignments, the 87th Legislature has now begun to slowly pick up steam. Committees have about two weeks to get staffed and organized as hearings will begin towards the end of February. I’ve mentioned it before, but committees are where the […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] From the newsletter dated February 5, 2021 From a personal perspective, the most important event of the week for me and most members was Speaker Phelan announcing committee assignments. I’m happy to report that I have been asked to serve as the Chairman of the Human Services Committee. For those who don’t know, the […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] From the newsletter dated January 15, 2021 On Tuesday, January 12th, for the 87th time in the history of our great state, the Texas Legislature convened for its 140-day long, biennial legislative session. It is my honor to represent the amazing folks of Archer, Baylor, Clay, Foard, Knox, and Wichita Counties (aka House District […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] From January 8, 2021 I rarely comment on federal issues. This is an intentional choice by me to resist the temptation to weigh in on every drama, both real and perceived, that is taking place in DC and played out in the media. I do this because: 1) I can’t typically impact these decisions; […]
