In Episode 4 of the Texas Legislative Update, David Blackmon and Jason Modglin, President of the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers, review the week of February 6-10 in the Texas Legislative session.

David and Jason begin this week’s episode with a discussion of the week of Jan. 31-Feb. 4, when a winter ice storm invaded the state and shut down most activity in Austin and the Texas Capitol Building.

This week’s focus centers on:

– The appointment of committee chairs in the House of Representatives;

– How the solid performance of the Texas electric grid during the prior week’s winter weather might impact efforts for further reform;

– President Biden’s odd comments about energy and oil and gas during his state of the union speech;

– Governor Abbott’s upcoming state of the state speech is scheduled for February 16;

– New legislation Jason and the Alliance are tracking in the current session.

Enjoy.
