Why you can rely on the Tribune during this legislative session
I hope this article helped you feel more informed about your state. At The Texas Tribune, we believe democracy only works if Texans understand what's happening in their Capitol and other halls of power. That's why I want to ask for your support ahead of the legislative session starting Tuesday.
Donations of any amount help our journalists cover state politicians, but a monthly or yearly gift makes the most impact, allowing us to invest in crucial in-depth journalism. You can rely on the Tribune to explain to Texans what’s being voted on under the pink dome in the coming weeks.
