    Legislative Update: New Texas Laws Affecting the Environment Or Environmental Regulation by Anthony Cavender, Amanda G

    Client Alert Environment, Land Use & Natural Resources Client Alert Environment, Land Use & Natural Resources June 12, 2013 Legislative Update: New Texas Laws Affecting the Environment or Environmental Regulation By Anthony Cavender, Amanda G. Halter and Nicholas M. Krohn This Texas legislative session brought several notable environment- and energy-related changes. The major standouts are culled and summarized in this Pillsbury Legislative Update. Txdot Authorized to Conduct NEPA Reviews of Transportation Projects The Transportation Code was amended to authorize the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to assume the duties of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) with respect to Texas transportation projects under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). TxDOT is also now authorized to enter into agreements with the USDOT to exclude certain highway projects from environmental assessment and impact statement requirements. TxDOT may adopt rules and standards for implementing these new authorities. Signed by Governor Perry and effective May 18, 2013. Bill: SB 466 Key legislators: Sen. Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa (D – Dist. 20), McAllen; Sen. Robert Nichols (R – Dist. 3), Jacksonville Audit Privilege Act Immunity Extended to New Property Owners The Texas Environmental, Health, and Safety Audit Privilege Act provides that certain documents and information may be privileged when they are collected as part of an environmental self-audit of facilities regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The Act also grants certain immunities from administrative and civil penalties for health and safety violations voluntarily disclosed and timely corrected. The Act currently provides these benefits only to facility owners and operators. This session’s amendment expands the reach to new owners who begin audits in connection with their pre- acquisition investigations.

    More Paxton Momentum: Dr. Steve Hotze Endorses Ken Paxton

    For Immediate Release – March 12, 2014 Contact: Anthony Holm: [email protected] More Paxton Momentum: Dr. Steve Hotze Endorses Ken Paxton (McKinney, Texas) - Senator Ken Paxton today announced the endorsement of Dr. Steve Hotze, President of Conservative Republicans of Texas, in his campaign for Texas Attorney General. Dr. Hotze said, “Time and time again Senator Ken Paxton has demonstrated the courage of his conservative convictions, fighting for pro-life, biblical marriage, pro-family, pro-gun, anti-tax and free enterprise legislation. Ken has challenged the Republican establishment when he felt that their positions were wrong. Ken Paxton will make an outstanding Attorney General of Texas and further advance our current Attorney General Abbott’s efforts of challenging the federal government’s infringements upon our state’s rights.” Senator Paxton commented, “I appreciate Dr. Hotze’s endorsement, particularly because we are likely to be outspent once again in the runoff and his advocacy of my candidacy will resonate with grassroots voters. Dr. Hotze’s endorsement underscores the continued momentum of my campaign support which has grown since last Tuesday. ” Last Tuesday, Senator Paxton shocked political observers with his first-place showing. During early voting, the Dan Branch campaign released a poll showing Representative Branch with an almost 2-1 lead over Senator Paxton. Despite being outspent more than 2-1, Senator Paxton led the field with 44%, coming within just 6 points of winning outright. Additionally, Paxton won Dan Branch’s home county of Dallas and his other “home” county of Bexar, where Rep. Branch grew up and still has family.

    Dan Branch Announces Candidacy for Texas Attorney General

    For Immediate Release July 23, 2013 Contact: Enrique Marquez (512) 853-0283 Dan Branch Announces Candidacy For Texas Attorney General DALLAS – A lifelong conservative with a proven record of fighting for Texas and getting results, Dan Branch today announced his candidacy for Texas Attorney General in front of family, friends, and hundreds of supporters at SMU’s Dedman School of Law. “After much time spent in thoughtful reflection and prayer, and because I believe Texans need someone to defend our state, to fight for us, and to get results, I am asking for your vote to be the next Attorney General of the great state of Texas,” Branch said. “I’m running for Attorney General to fight against an overreaching federal government, to fight for open and accountable government, and to preserve limited government in Texas.” Branch was joined by his wife of more than 28 years, Stacey, their five children, and his parents in kicking off his campaign at his law school alma mater. Since 2003, Branch has served in the Texas House of Representatives, where he led the way in balancing six straight budgets without raising taxes, passing the largest tax cut in Texas history, championing pro-life legislation, and enacting landmark tort reform legislation that has helped Texas create nearly one-third of the net new jobs in America over the past 10 years. “Over the last decade, I've helped lead the fight in the legislature to reform our civil justice system and place a choke hold on frivolous lawsuits. While some talked about it, I actually cast the tough votes to make it happen.

    Mrs. Lisette McSoud Mondello Nominee, Assistant Secretary for Public and Intergovernmental Affairs Department of Veterans Affairs Opening Statement of Lisette McSoud Mondello Nominee, Assistant Secretary for Public and Intergovernmental Affairs Department of Veterans Affairs Before the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee September 29, 2005 Thank you, Mr. Chairman and members of the Committee for the opportunity to appear before you today. It is a great honor to be nominated by President Bush to serve as Assistant Secretary for Public and Intergovernmental Affairs at the Department of Veterans Affairs. I am also most grateful to Secretary Jim Nicholson for his confidence in my abilities It is a privilege to be introduced by my mentor, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison from my home state of Texas. Senator Hutchison is a tireless advocate and supporter of our nation's veterans. Thank you, Senator, for your friendship and support. When I was growing up in Texas, my dad and uncle would show me pictures and tell me stories of their days in the service. My dad served in the Pacific during World War II. My uncle served in France during World War I. Later, I worked with Sam Johnson, a Korea and Vietnam veteran who spent nearly seven years in a North Vietnamese prison camp. I met many of his fellow POWs and remain awed by their courage and love of country. There is a country and western song entitled: ?My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys.? I would say rather ?My Heroes Have Always Been Veterans.? I have chosen my heroes well. Without the millions of men and women whose love of country and dedication to duty, we wouldn't enjoy the freedom we have today.
