Rep. Penny Morales Shaw

As we prepare for the 89th Legislature, I wanted to share that you can follow my work and those of any legislator at capitol.texas.gov! Follow along as we: 🏛️ File and Sponsor Bills 🗳️ Vote on Bills and Amendments 🗣️ Committee Updates AND MORE!

Less than two hours out from gaveling into the #TXLege 89(1) Session - one that will be eclipsed by the blatant power grab set to take place. Listen to our @TexasHDC Press Conference here: house.texas.gov/videos/22376 Today is day one of the good fight - join us.

The sudden and extreme weather event in central Texas has been a heart-wrenching tragedy, and we suffer with our neighbors the destruction and loss of precious lives.

Today we remember the courageous Declaration of our nation’s independence, and our continued fight for Justice and Liberty for all nearly 250 years later. Wishing everyone a very Happy Fourth of July. Please be safe on the roads this weekend. 🇺🇸

The increase in flash flood advisories and warnings serves as a reminder to prepare for the weather ahead and be safe on our roads. BEFORE you head out, make sure to visit traffic.houstontranstar.org for the latest information on road flooding, downed power lines, and other risks.

This morning I am holding a Legislative Town Hall with Senator @MollyForTexas to talk about what passed, what failed, and what’s next after the 89th Legislative Session. If you have any questions, comment them down below! ⬇️

Every dollar saved by #HB4226 is another dollar towards the great work by our local food banks and Loaves & Fishes. Thank you to my colleagues, experts, staff, and all who helped sign this into law.

ICYMI: The Governor has called a special session after his late night veto of #SB3. I look forward to heading back to Austin next month to create a safe framework where we protect our children, help our veterans and neighbors with chronic pain, and regulate a booming industry.

Juneteenth commemorates the 159th anniversary of the final enforcement and awareness of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas and serves as a reminder of all the achievements realized through faith, resiliency, and progress.

No matter your name or title, Happy Father’s Day to all the incredible dads and father figures in our lives and across our communities. 💙

Yesterday was Women Veterans Day, and Team 148 was honored to attend the City’s Celebration and celebrate the fierce women who have served our nation. One of them is Mrs. Berta Strait Lee, a Cypress-raised veteran who answered the call and served our nation.
