The House Committee on Corrections plays a crucial role in shaping Texas' criminal justice policies by focusing on issues related to the correctional system, particularly the treatment and rehabilitation of inmates. Under the leadership of Chair Representative Abel Herrero, the committee examines proposed legislation aimed at enhancing program accessibility for female inmates, improving post-release housing options, and addressing the treatment of sexually violent predators. The committee is actively engaged in hearings to discuss key bills including HB 967, which seeks to ensure equitable access to programs for female inmates within the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and HB 965, aimed at facilitating housing for inmates transitioning back into society. The committee prioritizes transparency in the correctional system while advocating for the rights and rehabilitation of individuals within its jurisdiction.

The House Committee on Natural Resources, led by Chair Tracy King, focuses on critical issues related to water management, conservation, and utilities in Texas. The committee is actively involved in reviewing and approving bills that address water quality protection, groundwater conservation, and the management of water and sewer utilities. Recent meetings have emphasized the importance of legislative measures that enhance the authority of water districts, improve service delivery, and ensure the sustainability of Texas' water resources. The committee meets regularly to discuss pending business and engage with experts to inform their work.
