This is the main website for the Texas Legislature from which you can link to much important information: http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/
A great online source is the Texas State Directory. It requires a subscription to gain access to some of the information; but if you click on “Online Directory” in the middle of the page, you can gain get free access to a surprisingly large amount of data: http://www.txdirectory.com/online/
The Texas House Committee assignments have not yet been made by Speaker Joe Straus, but Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst has made his.
