Legislative Session
Dates: early January-end of May, odd numbered years Every two years, the Texas Legislature convenes in
Austin at the Texas State Capitol for five months of legislative
business. Although there may be special sessions called between
these regular sessions, its during the regular sessions that
travelers find it easiest to plan a visit to the Capitol to watch
Texas government at work. The first day of the session, when both the House
of Representatives and the Senate convene at noon, is composed largely
of formalities and the visitors galleries are at their peak
as friends and families come to watch the swearing in ceremonies. Most days, however, its easy for travelers
to pop into the galleries and grab a seat to watch the action. The
entrance to the galleries for both houses is on the third floor
of the Capitol; be prepared to go through security before entering. Along with watching the Legislature, try to save
time in your day for a tour of the Capitol. You can take a free
guided tour (or grab a brochure for a self-guided tour) from the Texas
Capitol Visitors Center (located on the southeast side of the
Capitol grounds). For More Information: Texas
