Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes named Senator Jack Hightower of Vernon to the Texas Legislative Council committee guiding the revision of state statutes. Also named were Senator Max Sherman, Rep. Hilary Doran, Rep. Carl Parker, and Rep. Joe Spurlock. The program, created by the 58th Legislature in 1963, aims to revise statutes without changing legal meaning. Barnes praised Hightower as an outstanding legislator who will help modernize the statutory system.
Hightower served one term in the Texas House, became district attorney, then sought the Senate. His first Senate term began in 1964 in the 59th Legislature. He chairs the Senate Administration and Youth Affairs committees, is vice chairman of the Rules Committee, and sits on 10 other key standing committees. The study committee will report to the 63rd Texas Legislature in January 1973.
