Recently the Maverick County, Culberson County, Presidio county and Kinney County delegations visited the
Capitol on their respective county days. It was an honor and privilege for Representative Nevárez to recognize
these unique committees with a resolution read on the floor of the House of Representatives and to host them in

Austin.
On these county days the delegations travel to Austin to discuss their area’s legislative priorities with a variety
of state agencies and other legislative office. Representative Nevárez met with each delegation to discuss issues
and strategize on how to address them during the legislative session. Finally, the delegation has an opportunity
to experience the tastes and sites of the city of Austin and tour our beautiful State Capitol. All four counties had

productive visits and Representative Nevàrez and his office staff enjoyed hosting, spending time with, and getting
to know each delegation.
The legislature hit the 60 day mark of the 85th Legislative Session on March 10th, which is the last day that bills can
be filed. Committee hearings are in full swing. Only local bills can be filed after the first 60 days of regular session.
All four committees that Representative Nevárez serves on, the Homeland Security and Public Safety Committee,
the Natural Resources Committee, the Calendars Committee and the General Investigating and Ethics Committee,
all met this week. The committees hear invited testimony from state agencies and listened to summaries of bills.
Usually, a bill is heard in committee and then voted out of committee the next week. Representative Nevàrez chairs
the Democrat Caucus Steering and Policy Committee meeting, which holds weekly meetings to discuss strategy
and the direction of the Democrat Caucus throughout the legislative session. 107 Brian Avenue
