The longest filibuster in US history belongs to Texas Senator Bill Meier of Fort Worth, who filibustered for 43 hours, starting on May 2, 1977, against Senator Ray Farabee's bill amending the Open Records Act. #txlege
Senate Education K-16 committee heard fascinating yet somewhat terrifying testimony this morning about the deployment of drone units in schools for compliance with HB 3 (88R). All I can think of is Oblivion (2013). #txlege

I will have a press conference today at 1:30pm with the latest update on Hurricane #Beryl from our state emergency operations center. Right now is the calm before the storm. Beryl can still move eastward and will strengthen before landfall tomorrow morning between Corpus Christi and Houston. Anyone planning to move away from the coast needs to move today. Residents staying in place should take precautions today for wind, heavy rain, potential flooding, storm surge on the coast, and possible tornados. Listen to your local officials for instructions in your area. For more information go to: https://t.co/YlbT0MT80C
