Texas recently launched its own version of DOGE—the Delivery of Government Efficiency House committee. While some state lawmakers have expressed concerns that the committee aims to replicate mass firings and budget cuts seen at the federal level, its members told the Texas Tribune they will focus on other priorities—for now.
Comprising eight Republicans and five Democrats, committee members will hear public testimony on legislative proposals assigned to them and decide whether the bills will make it to the House floor. As of Friday, 32 legislative proposals have already been assigned to the committee.
