It is a privilege to serve the 23rd Congressional District of Texas in Congress. Each day, I work to address your concerns and protect our liberties. Please read below for some updates on my recent work representing you in Washington, D.C. and back home in TX-23.

Title 42 has been critical in helping U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) from being completely overwhelmed at the border.

I visited the Central Processing Center in El Paso where more than 4,600 migrants were being held in a facility with a maximum capacity of 1,040. Due to this overflow, thousands of migrants are either being released into the community or being housed in public buildings such as school facilities, the convention center and the airport. 

If Title 42 is rescinded, additional crossings will stretch border communities beyond their limits. I will keep pushing to keep this policy in place for the sake of our national security.

This week, I visited the Paso del Norte Port of Entry where I met with the Port Director to discuss how canceling Title 42 would affect trade and travel at our international bridges. This border crisis is threatening our economy, not just our safety and security.

I was honored to deliver the commencement speech at Texas A&M University - San Antonio. It was rewarding to see a new generation of leaders take this step forward, and I am excited to see what they accomplish next. Congratulations to TAMU-SA Class of 2022, and all other graduates across TX-23!

New year, new office! We have officially moved into our new Washington D.C. office. We are now located in Rayburn, suite number 2244. Next time you are in town, be sure to stop by!

From my work on the Appropriations Committee and the For Country Caucus to meeting with constituents in our district, ensuring veterans have access to the resources they need will always be a top priority of mine. This holiday season, I am thankful for the brave men and women that have served to protect our nation. As a Navy veteran myself, I know how difficult it can be to find and access the benefits and resources available to us. That's why my outstanding veterans casework team is here to help. Call my San Antonio office at 210-806-9920 or visit https://gonzales.house.gov/ for assistance.

My team and I are always available to assist you. Please feel free to contact my office at any time.
