Keeping Texas affordable remains a top priority for the Texas House.

While many of the cost pressures facing families are driven by national inflation, population growth and out-of-control local government spending, the Texas Legislature is taking action where it can to lower costs and help Texans keep more of their hard-earned money.

During the 89th Legislative Session, the Texas House passed an unprecedented $51 billion property tax relief package to ease the burden on Texas families, homeowners, small businesses and job creators.

The work is not finished, with Speaker Burrows working with lawmakers and state leaders to secure additional relief during the 2027 legislative session.

The Texas House made unprecedented investments in public schools and teachers, expanded educational opportunities and passed reforms to strengthen classrooms and empower parents. 

Lawmakers also advanced higher education reforms to increase affordability and ensure Texas colleges and universities remain focused on academic excellence, workforce readiness and student success. 

Texas offers unmatched opportunity that depends on a strong economy, reasonable business climate and access to the education and training needed for good-paying jobs.

Speaker Burrows led the Texas House in strengthening the state’s business environment, supporting job creators and expanding education and workforce training opportunities to help more Texans succeed.

Government should serve Texans, not stand in the way of their lives and livelihoods. 

Under Speaker Burrows’s leadership, the Texas House focused on making government more efficient, transparent and responsive to Texans. Lawmakers cut red tape, improved public access to information and strengthened oversight of taxpayer dollars.

Texas is a leader in freedom, economic opportunity and innovation, and the Texas House is upholding that promise by defending our state from outside threats.

Lawmakers strengthened critical infrastructure, protected Texas land and resources, reinforced state authority and pushed back against policies that threaten the state’s security, economy and way of life. 

Texans value personal freedoms, and Speaker Burrows led the House in giving Texans more control over their healthcare decisions and greater access to affordable, quality care.

The Texas House strengthened rural healthcare, supported groundbreaking medical research, promoted healthier lifestyles and increased access to important treatments and services across the state.

Strong families are the foundation of a strong Texas. Lawmakers protected the unborn and supported mothers, defended parental rights and took steps to keep children safe from harmful influences.

From protecting life to giving parents a greater voice in their children’s upbringing, the Texas House advanced policies that reinforce the values that let Texas families thrive.

Energy production funds public schools and universities, builds roads, supports first responders and provides the service Texans rely on.

The Texas House has advanced Texas’ energy dominance, strengthened the electric grid, supported a dependable and affordable energy supply and invested in the infrastructure needed to meet the demands of a growing state.

Texas has long been a leader in defending constitutional rights, including the right to keep and bear arms and the right to vote in free and fair elections. 

During the 89th Legislative Session, the Texas House strengthened Second Amendment protections and reinforced the integrity of Texas elections, helping safeguard these fundamental rights for future generations.

Under Speaker Burrows’ leadership, the Texas House has strengthened border security, upheld the rule of law and kept Texas communities safe.

The legislature advanced a strong public safety agenda to combat crime, support law enforcement, protect trafficking victims and keep criminals off our streets.

Texas is proud to have one of the largest military and veteran populations in the nation and is home to many of America’s most important military installations.

Speaker Burrows prioritized servicemembers and veterans support through investments that honor their service, ease the transition to civilian life and expand access to the care, benefits and opportunities they have earned.
