Texas bill-filing begins with Democrats poised to reshape agenda

Texas' new political landscape is setting the stage for an active legislative session as lawmakers begin filing bills for consideration in the 2027 session. The Associated Press , as of 8 a.m. Nov. 9, forecasts that Democrats will gain control of the Texas House, while Republicans will retain control of the state Senate — which will be led by a newly elected Democratic lieutenant governor. Thousands of bills are expected to be filed during the 90th legislative session, but most will not become law in Texas. However, the bill-filing period will let the public get a sneak peek at lawmakers' priorities for the 140-day session, which happens every two years. The public can expect bills aligned with the legislative priorities Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa championed on the campaign trail, including education reform and changes to the school voucher program. Lieutenant Governor-elect Vikki Goodwin , leader of the Texas Senate, is eyeing THC regulation in Texas rather than a ban, while also prioritizing clean water and affordable housing. Texans are also closely watching how lawmakers address data centers. Last session in 2024, the Texas Legislative Research Library reported that 1,511 bills and resolutions were filed on day one of the prefiling window
