Secretary Nelson to Open the 89th Legislature in the Texas House 





AUSTIN — Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson will today open proceedings in the Texas House of Representatives for the 89th Legislative Session at noon.  

"I am committed to a fair and orderly process today as we begin the 89th Legislative Session,” said Secretary Nelson.

Secretary Nelson will preside until a Speaker of the House is selected. Before her appointment as Secretary of State, she served in the Texas Senate for 30 years and has extensive experience presiding over official functions.
