Other Senators need to hear from concerned East Texans. See Redtown Ranch Wellfield updates here. HB 27 passed with overwhelming bipartisan statewide support in the House, but has stalled in the Senate. This bill halts export projects in the Neches and Trinity Valledys GCD until a comprehensive, state-led hydrologic investigation is completed in the area.
East Texas Senators are already solidly behind this bill. Now we need West and Central Texas Senators to hear loud and clear that Texans expect sustainable aquifer management, not short-term profiteering.
See the list of Senators here and respectfully request their support of HB 27.
