Since my return to the district, Ive heard three things repeated over and over,
Roberts said. One my constituents were genuinely pleased with my performance
during this Session and my success at passing good legislation. Two the
community is anxious for the Special Session where Governor Abbott has laid out a
bold agenda of conservative issues for the Texas Legislature to address. Three the
voters are asking me to run for re-election in 2018.
Roberts was successful in passing three bills he authored that have all been signed
by Governor Abbott: HB871 addressing faith based solutions to foster care and CPS
reforms, and HB1290 designed to reduce the burden of regulation on all Texans, and
HB2130 establishing a review of testing requirements for special education
students. Additionally, the Governor signed seven bills Roberts Co-Authored or Co-
Sponsored dealing with general appropriations, sanctuary cities, voter-ID,
government contracting with foreign enemies, and reducing license-to-carry fees.
The 85th Regular Session concluded on May 29 and Governor Abbotts First Called
Special Session is scheduled to begin July 18.
