Rep. Tom Oliverson (R-Cypress), currently serving as a committee chair under Speaker Dade Phelan, has declared his candidacy for the Speakership of the Texas House. This announcement comes as Speaker Phelan prepares for a runoff election in his district, marking the emergence of his first official challenger for the upcoming 89th Session, set to commence in January 2025.

Trooper Howard Jordan made the ultimate sacrifice serving the State of Texas. In 1981 he was killed in the line of duty in Texarkana. Last session the Texas Legislature passed a bill to allow for his highway memorial on U.S. 67. 43 years has passed, since his death. We move on, the family however, still lives it daily. It is important that we never forget those who pay the price, serving the State of Texas and its citizens. The DPS Troopers Foundation purchased the memorial sign. TxDOT sets the cost, the funds have to come from private donations. There are plenty of signs to purchase, and the Foundation while not the repository for fundraising, seems to be doing most of the work. If you are able, please donate. The link to do that is: Highway Renaming Projects (texasdpsoa.com).
