I am saddened by the passing of my friend and former colleague Garnet Coleman. A passionate advocate for the Houston community, a champion for the underserved, and above all, a great man. That is how I will remember Garnet. Please join Elisabeth and me in praying for his family, friends and loved ones, and all those whose lives he touched.
 
Garnet’s service in the Texas House began long before I entered the chamber, but I had the privilege of serving alongside him from my freshman year until his retirement. As a new member of the House, I looked to longtime public servants like Garnet to understand how to get things done for the people who sent us to Austin. It didn’t take long to see his compassion, courage and deep commitment to the community he served.
 
Throughout his decades of public service, Garnet worked to expand access to healthcare and mental health resources for Texas children and families. He was a champion of the University of Houston, helping secure important investments in its students, programs and facilities, while also working to expand economic opportunity in his community. Through it all, his work reflected a belief that government should serve everyone, especially those too often overlooked.
 
Garnet’s life of service and his commitment to improving the lives of others leave a lasting legacy in Houston and across Texas. I’m grateful to have known him and served alongside him, and I will always remember the example he set through his devotion to his community and the people of our state.

UPDATE: Baby Gabriel is here!

McKenna gave birth after courageously refusing the contracting parents’ demand that she abort him because of his serious but treatable heart condition.

Heartbreakingly, a temporary restraining order issued yesterday prevented McKenna from seeing or holding the baby she carried and fought to protect.

But Gabriel is doing well, and because of a separate court order, he is now on the path to receiving the life-saving medical care he needs.

Please pray for this precious baby boy and for McKenna.

The City of Bastrop is holding a City Council meeting hours away in Fredericksburg, making it nearly impossible for the people they represent to attend and participate.

That’s especially troubling when the agenda includes major issues like the city budget, property tax rate, legislative priorities, data center policy, and Flock camera technology—topics that directly affect Bastrop residents.

Public meetings should be accessible to the public. Moving them out of town undermines transparency and meaningful citizen participation.

This is unacceptable. I will be filing legislation to require that city council meetings be held in the city they represent so the public has a fair opportunity to attend, speak, and hold their elected officials accountable. #txlege
