Speaker Dustin Burrows represents the Texans of Borden, Crosby, Dickens, Floyd, Garza, Kent, Lubbock, Lynn, Mitchell, Scurry and Terry counties. First elected to the Texas House in 2014, he was selected by his colleagues to serve as Speaker during the 89th Legislature in 2025.

Throughout his tenure, Speaker Burrows has championed landmark legislation and emergency items, including the Texas Taxpayer Transparency Act (2019)–requiring voter approval for property tax increases above a certain threshold; the Texas Regulatory Consistency Act (2024)–eliminating patchwork local regulations and restoring uniform regulatory authority to the state; historic school safety legislation–mandating armed security personnel on every Texas school campus; and the Matt Dawson Act–guaranteeing lifetime benefits for first responders injured in the line of duty.

Speaker Burrows lives in Lubbock with his wife, Elisabeth, and their three sons, all of whom attend Lubbock ISD schools.
