Its members, including Brandon Creighton, Jane Nelson, and Kel Seliger, work primarily to address issues related to open meetings, public records, and accessibility of governmental information to the citizens of Texas. The committee focuses on evaluating existing laws and proposing new legislation that enhances public access to information and encourages active citizen engagement in the political process.

The House Committee on Ways & Means, chaired by Representative Morgan Meyer, focuses on critical issues related to taxation and financial policy in Texas. The committee has been actively addressing property tax relief through legislative efforts, examining bills such as HB 2, which aims to provide property tax relief via the public school finance system, and HB 1301, which seeks to enhance property owners' rights during the appraisal process. With a mix of Democratic and Republican members, the committee is dedicated to ensuring effective tax administration while balancing the interests of taxpayers. The Ways & Means Committee meets regularly to deliberate various bills, with a strong emphasis on tax exemptions, appraisal reforms, and efficient handling of property tax appeals, thereby reflecting the pressing need for equitable tax policy in the state.
