Texas Legislature

The Texas Legislature is the state’s lawmaking body, comprised of two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. It convenes every two years to create, amend, and enact laws that affect all Texans. The Texas Legislature addresses issues ranging from education, healthcare, and transportation, to public safety and the economy. Each legislative session, thousands of bills are introduced, but only a fraction become law. The legislative process is essential for the functioning of state governance, ensuring that the voices and needs of residents are considered. Understanding the actions and decisions made by the Texas Legislature is crucial for staying informed about the laws and policies that impact daily life in Texas.
