Legislative When legislators are faced with issues that may affect local government, they want to hear from local elected and appointed officials.
Collaborating With the Legislature
Legislative The Texas Legislature, composed of 150 members in the House of Representatives and 31 members in the Senate, meets during regular legislative sessions beginning in January for 140 days every odd-numbered year.
Legislative Texas counties and the services they provide are greatly impacted by the decisions made in Washington, D.C. The TAC Legislative Services department understands this and is your liaison to federal policy makers.
Texas Counties 101 Across the state, 254 counties serve the needs of more than 28 million Texans. County populations range in size from just under 100 residents (Loving County) to more than 4.6 million (Harris County).
Texas Counties 101 Texas, county government delivers services through a variety of elected officials rather than through one central authority. The Texas Constitution provides a checks and balances system in which none of the county’s elected officials is controlled by any other elected official; they answer only to the voters.
Texas Counties 101 The County Elections Database provides information on all county-held elections, both primary and general. As years of data are collected from the counties, the database will grow to become a historical repository.
