AUSTIN (Nexstar) — The Texas House of Representatives committee assignments were announced Wednesday morning. See which committees your East Texas representatives were appointed to below.

Speaker of the House Dade Phelan announced committee assignments Wednesday morning, appointing Democrats as a quarter of all committee chairs, despite some pushback within the Republican party to not give the minority party leadership positions.

“These assignments were made after careful consideration and extensive reflection, taking into account the committee preferences expressed by each member as well as the diverse talents they bring to the table — a combination that will help drive our chamber’s success and impact on issues facing Texans this legislative session,” Phelan said in an office press release.

While Phelan still gave Democrats leadership roles, he notably appointed less this session than in 2021 — when he appointed 13 Democratic leaders as opposed to the 9 Democratic chairs this time.

His office said the appointments were based off of numerous conversations with lawmakers and that the speaker factored in seniority, chamber demographics, personal preferences and more.

“The issues facing our great state will require thorough conversations and collaboration inside the Texas House, and our chamber does its best work when lawmakers use their skill sets and strengths to work together and build consensus,” the speaker said.

The highest appointment went to Rep. Charlie Geren, R-Fort Worth. Phelan named Geren the Speaker Pro Tempore, who will preside over the chamber in Phelan’s absence. In the 2021 session, Rep. Joe Moody, D-El Paso, filled this role.

There are 34 standing House committees and two select committees, as well as the House Calendars Committee. Phelan appointed a majority of Republicans as chairs, with 28 GOP members in leadership.
