No problem Donnie. She was able to get to the hearing and sign on in support of

the bill. Let's hope it clears the committee and gets back to the floor and then

off to the Senate. Let me know if we can do anything else to help push this

along.

Thanks Dave! I was not able to attend this hearing...I am on duty today, and

have too much of a packed schedule for a trip to Austin. I will, however,

attend the next hearing if/when it is taken to the full committee. Let me know

if I can be of any assistance to the TAA or your lobbyist.

Also, I have been keeping up with the status of this bill through the Tx

Legislature Online. I was told by the Rep's office that they would keep me

posted, but I have yet to hear from them. The TLO is a great way to keep up

with the bill's status!
