Texas House of Representatives

The Texas House of Representatives is one of the two chambers of the Texas Legislature, the state's lawmaking body. It is composed of 150 elected representatives who serve two-year terms. Their primary responsibilities include creating state laws, budgeting, and overseeing state agencies. Each representative represents a specific district in Texas, bringing the concerns of their constituents to the legislative process. Sessions typically begin every other year, and the House works alongside the Senate to draft, debate, and pass legislation, which then requires approval from the Governor to become law.
