Texas House Organizes With Turman Camp Dominant
The Texas House assigns committee chairs to Turman supporters led by Speaker James Turman. Opponents led by Rep. Wade Spilman of McAllen face less favorable posts as they plot strategy. Senate leaders, led by Lt. Gov. Ben Ramsey, set committees including State Affairs, Agriculture, and Education with names like Lane, Moffett, and Reagan guiding major panels. A proposed constitutional amendment would let new House members elect a speaker early, limit the speaker to one term, bar House campaigning, require monthly campaign reports, and elect the office, all to be decided in November.
