  • 87Th LEGISLATIVE SESSION and COVID RESTRICTIONS On
    87th LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND COVID RESTRICTIONS On January 12, 2021, lawmakers from across the state will convene the 87th Texas Legislative Session, meeting for the Regular Session over the following 140 days through May 31. This will be the first time that all 181 legislators will come together since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the virus is top-of-mind for everyone involved. While the Governor recently announced the re-opening of the Capitol building on January 4, we have minimal knowledge of the health and safety protocols the members, staff and Capitol visitors will have to follow when they enter the building next week. It will surely be a much different environment than previous sessions. We know the following requirements will be in place as of today, per a memo released by the State Preservation Board last week: • The Capitol building will only be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday; it will be closed Saturday and Sunday for cleaning. • The public may only enter through the North Capitol entrance. • Covid testing will be encouraged and provided on the North Plaza at no expense. • A mask will be required to be worn inside the building at all times. • All deliveries to the Capitol, including food and beverage, must be left at the loading dock; no delivery personnel will be allowed beyond the loading dock or through the public entrance. • No public tours or groups or sponsored event space will be available. • The House and Senate will manage public access to their offices once convened and rules are adopted, and the public will need to check with the offices directly for specific guidelines.

  • April 29, 2020 the Honorable Greg Abbott Governor of Texas P.O. Box
    April 29, 2020 The Honorable Greg Abbott Governor of Texas P.O. Box 12428 Austin, TX 78711 Delivered via Email Dear Governor Abbott: Long-term care facilities like nursing homes, state supported living centers, and group homes are now the epicenters of the COVID-19 pandemic. While media outlets have rightly focused on the deaths in nursing homes across the country, people with disabilities and older adults face increased risks in all institutional and congregate settings. Like nursing homes, there have been similar outbreaks and deaths in our state supported living centers, state hospitals, and group homes. Our state government can and must do more to protect our most vulnerable Texans. That is why we respectfully request the following critical measures to defend our elderly Texans, Texans with disabilities, and the Texans on the frontline serving these communities. • Immediate additional funding through an emergency Texas Medicaid rate increase for long-term and intermediate care facilities to help cover increased costs for direct-care staff wages and personal protective equipment (PPE); • Greater transparency in the reporting of COVID-19 deaths and cases in nursing home facilities, state supported living centers, state hospitals, and group homes; • Mandatory available COVID-19 testing for every employee and resident of a nursing home facility, state supported living centers, state hospitals, or group home in Texas. Thank you for your consideration of our request, and ensuring Texas protects our most vulnerable. Please do not hesitate

  • VERTICAL TARGET February 4, 2021 TIPRO Newsletter
    VOLUME 23, NO. 3 FEBRUARY 4, 2021 TIPRO releases “2021 State of Energy Report” Texas The Texas Independent Producers & Royalty Owners Association (TIPRO) released the sixth edition of its Independent “State of Energy Report” on Thursday, February 4, offering a detailed analysis of national and state trends in oil and natural gas employment, wages and other key economic factors for the state's energy industry in 2020. Producers and TIPRO’s “State of Energy” repor” series was developed to quantify and track the economic impact of domestic Royalty Owners oil and natural gas production with an emphasis on the state of Texas. In 2021, TIPRO updated its industry Association definition to include the Oil and Gas Pipeline and Related Structures Construction sector and provides updated and historical data in this year's publication. According to the association’s new report, the U.S. oil and natural gas industry employed 902,223 professionals in 2020, representing a net decline of 160,323 direct jobs compared to 2019. The industry paid a national annual wage averaging $113,601 last year, 86 percent higher than average private sector wages in the United States. Payroll in the U.S. oil and gas industry meanwhile totaled $102 billion and direct Gross Regional Product (GRP) for the industry was $741 billion in 2020, or 4 percent of the U.S. economy. Additionally, total U.S. goods and services purchased in 2020 by the oil and gas industry decreased, but still exceeded $527 billion from over 900 business sectors, notes TIPRO. In Texas, the oil and gas industry continued to provide significant economic support despite challenging market conditions, accounting for 39 percent of all oil and gas employment in the nation, as outlined in the new report.

The first section examines the location of the members of the Texas Senate and of the Texas House on the liberal-conservative dimension along which legislative politics takes place in Austin. In both chambers, every Republican is more conservative than every Democrat and every Democrat is more liberal than every Republican. There does, however, exist substantial ideological diversity within the respective Democratic and Republican delegations in each chamber. The second section explores the extent to which each senator and each representative was on the winning side of the non-lopsided final passage votes (FPVs) on which they voted.
