Watch: Texas 85th Legislature preview symposium
We livestreamed our symposium previewing the 85th Legislature from UT-Austin. Topics of discussion will included major issues on tap in the House and Senate, and a look at how the 2016 elections could impact the political environment in 2018. Also on the agenda: a conversation with House Speaker Joe Straus and a discussion with members of the Capitol press corps.
