Legislative Session begins next month

The 86th Legislative Session will begin on January 8, 2019. Since the Texas Legislature meets biennially, state-elected officials will make decisions on the next two years of budgeting for the state. Later, committee appointments will be made. The Senate Finance and House Appropriations Committees will review final budget requests (“Appropriations Requests”) and a budget will be decided by the time session ends on May 27, 2019. We will be changing our newsletter publication to a monthly schedule during legislative session in order to provide updated information.
