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 Select Committee on Texas Ports focuses on enhancing the state's port infrastructure and facilitating economic development through maritime trade. Composed of key members from both parties, including Chair Brandon Creighton and prominent senators such as Lois W. Kolkhorst and Carol Alvarado, the committee aims to address legislative initiatives that ensure Texas maintains its competitive edge in trade. The committee is actively seeking to evaluate the impact of current policies and consider new bills that support Texas ports' strategic importance.
