  • 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.

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.

The Honorable Hope Andrade, secretary of state of the State of Texas, called the House of Representatives of the Eighty-Second Legislature of the State of Texas to order. The invocation was offered by Archbishop Daniel Nicholas Cardinal DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, as follows: Almighty and compassionate Lord, you have revealed your glory to all nations and have care for all. We humbly thank you for this land, our state, a land rich in resources but above all rich in its many people. May we be a people mindful of your love, justice, and kindness. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. God of wisdom and justice, through you authority is rightly administered, laws are enacted, and judgement is decreed. Let the light of your divine wisdom direct the deliberations of this legislature and shine forth in all its proceedings and laws, framed for our rules and governance. May this house of representatives seek to preserve the common good and continue to bring us the blessings of liberty and equality. Assist with your spirit of council and fortitude the speaker and all the representatives, that their administration be conducted in good judgement and be eminently useful to the citizens of this state.

  • Weekly Legislative Report
    Weekly Legislative Report 87th Session of the Texas Legislature The 87th session of the Texas Legislature was kicked off at noon on Tuesday, January 12, 2021. As prescribed by the Constitution, the regular session of the legislature will last for 140 days. The last day of the session will be May 31, 2021. GOVERNOR: Welcoming Senate and House Members Governor Greg Abbott made welcoming speeches in both the Senate and House chambers on Tuesday. He said, “I am looking forward to seeing the innovative solutions that you are able to provide to the challenges that the people of this state are facing. I look forward to working with you this session just as effectively as we did last session. Let’s be clear, last session was a tremendous success. Among other things that we accomplished, we passed sweeping reforms to our school finance system. And, we made major investments in our students and in our teachers. But now, new challenges await us this session. Over the past year, Texans have been challenged like never before. But, Texans are resilient and our state will emerge from this episode stronger than ever before and in our typical superior fashion. To do that, however, we all need to come together and work together over the next 140 days exactly like we did last session. Over the next 140 days, we have the opportunity to put Texas on a trajectory to make our state even more extraordinary.” He discussed his priorities, including: • Tackling COVID challenges; • Ensure better access to health care for all Texans; • Support law enforcement officers and keeping communities safe; • Safeguarding freedoms for all Texans; and • Getting Texans back to work.

  • Running on Hydrocarbons: Oil and Gas Funding to Every Texas Lawmaker
    Running on Hydrocarbons: Oil and Gas Funding to Every Texas Lawmaker Texans for Public Justice Public Citizen’s Texas Office Sierra Club May 2017 Running on Hydrocarbons: Oil and Gas Funding to Every Texas Lawmaker (2013-2016) he Texas Sunset Advisory Commission typically reviews state agencies every 12 years to determine if the agencies are efficient, need reform, or should be abolished. The Texas Railroad Commission T just underwent its third Sunset review since 2010. A hard-hitting 2013 Sunset staff report recommended the agency’s three elected commissioners should only be allowed to raise money during an 18-month period surrounding an election (instead of throughout most of their six-year terms). It also recommended that the agency develop rules to prevent informal, ex parte discussions of contested cases, and to ban commissioners from taking money from parties to contested cases. Our recent Conflicted report found that commissioners continue to take contributions from parties with pending contested cases, despite their claims that they “self-police” such conflicts. The 2016 Sunset staff report slammed the agency’s deceptive name, calling for its rechristening as the “Texas Energy Resources Commission.” It suggested that the agency’s case hearings and gas-utility rate cases could be done more professionally and transparently by the State Office of Administrative Hearings and the Public Utility Commission, respectively. In their report, Sunset staff argued that major agency changes are needed to improve pipeline safety, increase bonding requirements for new oil and gas drilling and to intensify inspection and enforcement efforts. Yet the latest report did not address commissioner fundraising conflicts.
