Learn more about state laws on conflicts of interest and their impact on city business in the April 2026 Legal Q&A. The full Legal Q&A archive is a great resource for legal information and can be accessed on the TML website here: https://t.co/Se7keerISF https://t.co/oExwd2VE4L

Both Speaker Burrows and Lt. Governor Patrick have released their interim charges to House/Senate committees ahead of the 2027 leg session. Several charges touch directly on city finances, housing affordability & permitting, etc

Looking for clear answers about legislative advocacy? A Legislative Q&A is featured in the May issue of TTC and breaks down key questions to help readers better understand advocacy roles and responsibilities. A great resource for officials ready to engage with legislators.

A strong example of how public safety, community engagement, and smart branding can transform a city. White Settlement’s progress is making a real impact—great work by their leadership team!

Thank you to my boss, City Manager Jeffrey James for co-authoring this piece for the April edition of the Texas Town & City Magazine, official publication of the @TML_Texas Municipal League.
As a @WSPDTX public safety team, we have worked really hard to prioritize crime fighting strategies coupled with community engagement initiatives and strategic media avenues to create sustainable economic growth opportunities in our commercial and residential sectors.
With a crime rate that has plummeted 31% since 2021 and a re-focus on branding the town's history and geographic proximity as a strength, hundreds of new homes and multiple million-dollar reinvestments of existing commercial projects and the addition of new large-scale commercial properties is having a positive result on great economic growth and outlook for the future.
Special thanks to Mayor Faron Young and City Council for their continued support on these opportunities across town.

Great to speak with Texas Municipal League members about how their priorities dovetail into my work to improve affordability, infrastructure, and housing in the Lone Star State.

I am proud to represent nearly 32 million Texans & will continue to do my part to make life easier for Texas families and businesses, including by passing laws like the Working Families Tax Cuts Act.

🇺🇸 Understanding our present by looking at our past. Fascinating talk at #TMLMidyear by @JeremiSuri on the history of federal, state, and local dynamics. A great reminder that democracy is built from the ground up and local power is foundational to its survival. #TexasCities

Recovery happens long after the headlines fade. Great session with city leaders from Houston, Kerrville, and Rockport on the long-term reality of rebuilding at #TMLMidyear
