Description This data is for the 2021 Bush School Legislative Capstone.

We gather data from the 349 committees that passed at least 10 bills in both the Texas House and Senate from the eight regular legislative sessions since 2007.

The data used in this analysis is obtained from Texas Legislature Online (TLO). To find the total number of bills referred to a committee for each session, we use the ‘Bills By…Reports’ tool on the TLO website (2021). To find the total number of bills passed by each chamber that came out of each session’s committees, we utilize the TLO ‘Bill Search’ tool (2021) and select the appropriate action criteria: Passed (H555) and Passed (S576).
