Committees in the Texas House of Representatives this week are holding organizational meetings in anticipation of hearing bills starting in the second week of March. To make it easier to track these committees, we've put together the standing committee schedule so Texans know when to watch or show up to testify in public hearings.
Want to take part in the process? Here are some quick links for information about registering as a witness, the House Public Comment portal, how to access the Capitol, the daily live-stream schedule for hearings, and our member page to connect with your state representative.
