State Capital Highlights in Texas Politics and Reforms
Gov. Ann Richards faced political fallout after resignations of two top appointees, including Railroad Commissioner Lena Guerrero who admitted lying about her degree. Hale's conflict probe of Joshua Allen sparked accusations of discord, while Morales pressed for a tougher prison reform stance. Guerrero lobbied with a $1 million TV buy as race with Barry Williamson unfolds amid credibility concerns. Also noted are voter registration gains, Hury’s departure to Fulbright & Jaworski, insurance discounts on mortgage title insurance, and bars disciplinary actions by the State Bar.
