What this office does
The Texas Senate is one of the two chambers of the Texas Legislature (the other is the Texas House). Its 31 senators each represent a state senate district. With the House, the Senate writes Texas state law and passes the state budget; the Senate alone confirms the Governor's appointees to state boards and agencies. The Lieutenant Governor presides over the Senate. The Legislature meets in regular session every two years.
