SD 11 SREC: District 129 Newsletter

As we end the second full week of the 87th legislature's first special session, the House of Representatives cannot conduct business due to a lack of quorum. We continue to be in session every day and await the return of our colleagues back to Texas.

Below I will share what has been going on during this unusual time. As always, if you would like to share your opinion or need assistance with a state agency, please do not hesitate to contact my staff or me. Our contact information is at the bottom of this newsletter.

God Bless,

Dennis Paul

Earlier this week, I was lucky enough to meet with Dalto and James, who came to visit me at the Capitol as a part of their summer leadership camp.
