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.

  • Passage of HB 3883 Without Substitutions.” Will Suffice
    Dear Friends of the Texas Hill Country, On Tuesday, April 6th the House Committee on Land and Resource Management heard 24 speakers who testified in favor of HB 3883, Representative Kyle Biedermann’s bill to provide citizens of nine Hill Country counties the opportunity to vote on giving their county limited authority to control development. Only one person spoke against the bill, representing the Texas Builder’s Association. Sadly, this one speaker seemed to make more of an impression on some of the Committee members than did county commissioners, members of Hill Country groundwater conservation districts, and many concerned citizens speaking for the bill. HB 3883 was left pending in committee and, there was talk of crafting a committee substitute that would be more favorable to the builders. One way to move this bill is to contact the members of the Committee and urge them to send HB 3883 – as is – on to a vote by the Texas House. House Committee on Land and Resource Management Chairman Chair: Rep. Joe Deshotel Vice Chair: Rep. Ben Leman Members: Rep. Kyle Biedermann Rep. Dustin Burrows Rep. Tom Craddick Rep. Ramon Romero Rep. Jon E. Rosenthal Rep. David Spiller Rep. Shawn Thierry Here are some talking points in support of HB 3883. You can read GEAA’s comments here. If you do not have time craft detailed comments, a simple statement of support “I support passage of HB 3883 without substitutions.” will suffice. If you are tired of spending your time and money fighting goofy projects that will negatively impact your property values and our water resources, take a minute to contact the members of the Committee and let them know how you feel.

  • 2018 State Representative List
    Community Support from State Representatives This list reflects letters received from State Representatives in order to apply points to Applications in the 2020 Competitive Housing Tax Credit cycle under 10 TAC §11.9(d)(5) of the Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP). This is solely a list of letters received and under review and is not a formal assessment of points. The purpose of this list is to enable applicants and elected officials to review the list of letters and confirm that all letters submitted have been received and are under review. The second worksheet includes letters received by the Department but will not be scored, along with information about why the letters will not be scored. As no eligibility or scoring determinations have been made, the posting of this list does not serve to trigger the appeals rule. The list is sorted by application number. All eligible applications submitted to the Department for the 2020 cycle are listed, regardless of whether or not any letters were received. In order to qualify for points the letter must come from the elected official whose district boundaries include the development site, must clearly state support for or neutrality or opposition to the specific Development, and must have been received by the Department by the final application submission date. Pursuant to §11.9(d)(5)(B) of the QAP, if no letter was received from a State Representative, or if a letter received conveys that no written statement of support, neutrality, or opposition will be provided by the State Representative for a particular Development, points available under this subparagraph will be based on how an Application scores under §11.9(d)(1), of the QAP relating to Local Government Support.

    Texas System of Education Service Centers th 86 Legislative Session Bill Book 7-29-2019 Introduction On January 8th, the 86th Texas Legislature was sworn in and began their 140-day session. After a long period of uncertainty during the interim, Dennis Bonnen of Brazoria was elected Speaker of the House, following a ten-year tenure of the previous Speaker Joe Straus. The Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Speaker (nicknamed the “Big Three”) deemed education, tax relief, school safety, and disaster preparedness the major topics of the session. Additionally, in a move to create partnership and cooperation, the Big Three vowed to work together despite their differences. As the session progressed, education and property tax relief remained the prevalent topics. Overall, 1,554 bills were passed by the Legislature. Of the 947 House Bills and 459 Senate Bills, 146 affected Independent School Districts, Open-Enrollment Charter Schools, and Private Schools (only 3 education bills were vetoed by the Governor). The main topics of these bills include: School Finance School Safety, Discipline, and Disaster Preparedness/Recovery Academics (Special Education, College, Career, and Military Readiness; Curriculum; Accountability; and Prekindergarten Education) Teacher Compensation and Preparation (including Teacher Retirement System and Ethics) Governance Open-Enrollment Charter Schools Almost half of the education-focused bills related to the issues of school safety, discipline, and disaster preparedness/recovery or academics. Whereas the least amount of bills focused on changes to Open-Enrollment Charter Schools and teacher compensation and preparation. This bill book includes an in-depth look at the 146 education bills that were passed and signed into law in 2019.
