Texas BOMA Legislative Update by Robert D. Miller, Yuniedth Midence Steen, and Gardner Pate February 10, 2014
Texas BOMA Legislative Update by Robert D. Miller, Yuniedth Midence Steen, and Gardner Pate February 10, 2014 Last month, we highlighted the key Senate races across the state. This month, we will examine the key House of Representatives races in 2014. Texas House The Texas House is a 150 member body presided over by the Speaker of the House, who is selected from among its membership. Speaker Joe Straus (R-San Antonio) has held that post since being selected just prior to the 2009 legislative session, and he is generally expected to be re-elected to his fourth session in 2015. Unlike the Senate, where the chamber is guided by collegiality among members necessitated by the need to get two-thirds of members present to bring up a bill, the House is governed by rules and committees. Before a bill can get to the floor, it must proceed through the Calendars committee, which can keep a bill locked up forever, or put it on the fast-track to passage. Once on the floor, most bills are killed not by votes but by parliamentary maneuvering, including amendments to change the purpose of the bill or points of order, which can effectively kill the legislation. The House generally has more turnover than the Senate, primarily because all Representatives serve two-year terms, while Senators serve four-year terms, with only half of the Senate seats being up each election. Over the past two election cycles, we have seen a large number of new members. In the 2013 session, 65 Representatives had one session or less experience serving in the legislature. -
