House Bill 3918 has passed the Texas House! This marks my 10th bill off the House floor this session! HB 3918 promotes transparency by requiring cities and municipalities to post all political sign ordinances on a public website and provide them to all candidates. Every city has its own restrictions on where political signs can be placed, and tracking down these rules can be difficult, especially in races spanning over multiple jurisdictions. HB 3918 levels the playing field by making this information easily accessible to all candidates! #TXLege #HD70

On this Peace Officers Memorial Day, we remember our law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Their dedication and service to keeping us safe will never be forgotten. May we lift up their families who carry on their memory. We are forever grateful. #TXLege #HD70

Another late night and early morning with an 8 a.m. bill layout in the new Trade, Workforce, and Economic Development Committee! Today, I laid out SB 563 by Senator West, which safeguards sensitive information of Texans in consumer reports and ensures that credit reporting agencies follow all state laws. Now I’m off to another long day of voting on the floor! #TXLege #HD70

All in a day's work! HB 1441 passed the Texas House tonight and is on its way to the Senate!

All in a day's work! HB 1441 passed the Texas House tonight and is on its way to the Senate! As School Resource Officers (SROs) become more prevalent in our schools, this bill updates training for SROs to include the impacts of grief and trauma on students, as well as signs of drug use, mistreatment, neglect, and gang influence. I want to thank my bipartisan group of joint authors for helping get this bill passed out of the House! #TXLege #HD70
