  • 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

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.

FACETS OF TEXAS LEGAL HISTORY Frances Spears Cloyd* OR three hundred years Spain ruled vast areas in the Western hemisphere. She regarded these colonial possessions as being en- tirely the King's, for his use and benefit. She exploited them for royal profit through a tight trade monopoly and extended her laws into them. Her domination was approaching an end when the Anglo-Ameri- cans began to come into Texas. Moses Austin got permission from the Spanish government to take a colony into Texas in 1821. He died before he was able to complete his project and bequeathed the responsibility to his son, Stephen. In this same year Mexico and Spain were clashing. Iturbide led a pow- erful liberal movement based on unity of all classes, independence under a Bourbon prince with power limited by a constitution, and protection of the Catholic Church. Mexico proclaimed her independence from Spain and proceeded to the drafting of an extremely complex constitution.' It was completed and promulgated in 1824.

  • A Letter to Abbott
    September 4, 2019 The Honorable Greg Abbott Governor of Texas P.O. Box 12428 Austin, TX 78711 Dear Governor Abbott: The undersigned members of the House Democratic Caucus write today to urge you to call an emergency session of the 86th Legislature in response to the tragic mass shootings that have taken place in our state in the last several years, including two in the last month. But it is not only mass shootings we must respond to – more than 3,000 people lose their lives to gun violence in Texas each year. That horrifying statistic alone should prompt us to take action. We agree with your comments at Sunday’s press conference that the status quo is unacceptable. Members of the House Democratic Caucus, for several sessions now, have proposed dozens of specific bills aimed at changing the status quo by making Texans safer through common-sense gun and public safety legislation. We have attached a comprehensive list of bills our members authored in the 86th Regular Session for your review and consideration. As governor, you have the sole authority to both call an emergency session and determine the legislative proposals that are eligible to be considered. While we believe many if not all of the attached legislative proposals will help address the gun violence epidemic, at a minimum we ask that you place the following items on the call: 1. Enacting extreme risk protective order laws and closing existing loopholes in current protective order laws 2. Closing the background check loopholes 3. Banning the sale of high-capacity magazines 4.
