CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

Dear Friends,

As of Wednesday, March 18, my Washington, D.C. and Texas offices will be closed until further notice due to the growing concerns of the coronavirus (COVID-19), and in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) calling for social distancing practices.

The Washington and Texas offices will remain closed until it is deemed safe by the CDC to return to work. 

Staff will telework during normal business hours, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., local times, Monday through Friday, and be responsive to the needs of constituents of the 15th District of Texas via phone, text message, e-mail and other electronic communications.

If you need to contact a member of our Washington, D.C. or Texas staff, their contact information is available on our website here.

My office continues to receive new information regarding the global COVID-19 pandemic and I want to provide you with the latest information and resources so you can stay up to date and prepared.

In any public health emergency, it is important to get trusted, verified information.
