LAW
Find your own legislators
Who Represents Me at wrm.capitol.texas.gov gives your Texas Senate and House districts and members, your US Senate and House members, and your State Board of Education member. Search by address, ZIP, county, or city.
PRACTICE
Then look up how they voted
Who Represents Me tells you who. It does not carry votes. For a voting record, open the member page on capitol.texas.gov for their bills and votes, and the House or Senate Journal for the record of a particular vote. Two steps, two tools.
PRACTICE
If you get lost
The presenter says a step number out loud at every step. Come back to the step list and tap the number you heard. You never have to raise a hand.
