Of the People, by the People, for the People
Body
Every odd-numbered year on the second Tuesday in January your Texas Legislature convenes for a period of 140 days at the Texas State Capitol to kick off a regular legislative session. During those 140 days, State Representatives and State Senators alike get to work on writing and passing legislation to address various issues affecting our state. Constitutionally, the Legislature is only required to pass a biennial state budget, which makes our budget the top priority of the legislative session. However, a legislative session is the only time a law can be created in Texas, so the eyes of Texans fall upon us every other year as we seek to make our state a better place.
