The 87th legislative session began January 12. Things are a going to be a little different this year, as have most things recently, but the steps in the process will remain same. As session gets going this month, our job will be to supply information about our programs and resources to legislators and their staffers. We are, as always, here to answer any questions you may have and provide resources you may need. Our newsletter will be issued monthly through June and we will be providing legislative updates in each issue.

As members of our media production community continue to plan new projects this year, safety must remain a top priority during all phases of production. Our Coronavirus Resources & Response page contains resources designed to help with safety efforts, including the Open Texas Checklist for Media Production, PPE vendors, community liaison information and much more.
If you need guidance on the Open Texas Checklist for Media Production, or if you would like a Safety Consultation from a member of our Production Department, please e-mail us at MediaProductionSafety@gov.texas.gov. Our team is happy to work with you as you develop the best plans and protocols available to keep everyone healthy.
