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 Homeland Security & Public Safety is dedicated to addressing legislative matters related to public safety, law enforcement, and response to emergencies in Texas. Chaired by Representative Ryan Guillen, the committee focuses on a range of issues including the licensing and hiring of peace officers, traffic regulations, and the coordination of public safety measures across state agencies. Recent meetings have highlighted discussions on bills aimed at reforming driving offenses, bolstering support for first responders, and improving victim support services, particularly regarding sexual assault cases. The committee actively engages with state agencies and advocacy groups to ensure effective oversight and improvement of safety protocols and operations in Texas.
