The House Committee on Transportation, chaired by Representative Terry Canales, plays a crucial role in shaping Texas' transportation policies and infrastructure. The committee focuses on a myriad of legislation aimed at enhancing the state's highway systems, ensuring community safety, and addressing environmental concerns related to transportation. Key legislative efforts, such as House Bill 4386, are designed to prevent the expansion of highways in vulnerable areas, reflecting the committee's commitment to protecting local communities from potential adverse effects of infrastructure development. Throughout the 88th Legislature, the committee has actively engaged in discussions, held numerous meetings, and evaluated several bills that promote sustainable transportation practices and improve the efficiency of transportation systems across Texas.

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.
