I was glad to be a panelist at the 22nd Annual West Texas Legislative Summit. West Texas plays a critical role in our state’s economy, energy production, and future growth. Thank you to Angelo State University & San Angelo Chamber of Commerce for bringing everyone together.

A banner year for the West Texas Legislative Summit! Thank you to Speaker @Burrows4TX and my House and Senate colleagues for traveling to San Angelo, and to all our panelists for in-depth discussions on energy, digital infrastructure, and health care, issues we will tackle head-on in the 90th Legislative Session. Thanks as well to my co-hosts Senator @electcharles and @RepPfluger, the San Angelo Chamber of Commerce, Angelo State University for hosting us, and our sponsors for making it happen. I am proud to represent the Concho Valley and West Texas, and grateful for the partnerships that keep our region moving forward. As Speaker Burrows said on Wednesday, “West Texas is the best Texas!”

Clarisa and I are overjoyed to share that we welcomed our 13th grandchild this past Thursday! Our daughter, Regan, and her husband, Ryan, are the proud parents of a new, beautiful baby boy, Sterling. Every grandchild is such a gift, and we never tire of celebrating new life in our family. Mom and baby are doing wonderfully, and we can’t wait to watch this sweet boy grow. God is so good, and we’re endlessly grateful for the family he has given us.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to connect with the Republican nominees for the Texas House in West Texas — @Holly4Texas in HD 86 and @JayHardaway in HD 71. Once elected, both will be excellent members of our West Texas Delegation. They are outstanding public servants who have invested deeply in their communities, and I look forward to working alongside them. #txlege

I am honored to launch my re-election campaign with the support of President @realDonaldTrump, Governor @GregAbbott_TX, Speaker @Burrows4TX, Congressmen @AugustPfluger and @JodeyArrington, and Commissioner @DrBuckinghamTX! I am running to continue serving the people of the Concho Valley and West Texas. Together, we will ensure our rural values and priorities continue to be heard at the Capitol. #txlege

It was a pleasure to welcome @TTUSystem Chancellor-elect Creighton and Chancellor @TeddLMitchell to #AngeloState today. We were also proud to have @DrewDarbyTX join us for part of the day, where we were able to highlight all the exciting things happening on campus.

After this summer’s floods in #CentralTexas, the #TXLege gathered for a series of special sessions — paving the way for #NewLaws on #FloodResponse response & camp safety. On the next #InFocusTexas, @KarlaLealTV sits down with @DrewDarbyTX to better understand the changes. #JoinUs

Texas House reps initially passed HB 1 w/ bipartisan support to require summer camps to create disaster plans. @DrewDarbyTX read the names of 27 girls who died at Camp Mystic during the July 4 flooding & recognized the victims’ family members in attendance. #txlege @impactnews

There has never been a worse human in the #txlege Mom and dads are crying in the gallery over losing their precious daughters in the flood and this guy still has to make it all about himself.

Government solutions are often worse than the problems they claim to solve. Unfortunately, that happened with HB1 today, which started out as a good bill that I intended to support. However, Democrats were allowed to amend the bill on the floor in a way that may harm or shut

.@DrewDarbyTX has filed the new HB 1, "Relating to resident youth camp emergency plans and preparedness": capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/his… #txlege

In light of the devastating and deadly floods that have impacted the Concho Valley, Hill Country, and Central Texas—and in response to overwhelming feedback from constituents—I am respectfully urging Governor @GregAbbott_TX Abbott to add Emergency Disaster Preparedness & Relief to the July 21st Special Session agenda. While we cannot change the past, we must act now to better prepare our communities for future natural disasters and ensure our neighbors have the resources to rebuild. This includes, among other things, investing in a more robust and comprehensive alert system, as well as ensuring a coordinated, long-term recovery effort that leaves no community behind. You can read my full letter to Governor Abbott below. #txlege

Yesterday, I joined local leaders in Tom Green County for a response update. After visiting some of the neighborhoods most affected and spending time at PaulAnn Church assisting with recovery efforts, I was inspired to see the strength and fortitude of our community working together to overcome this catastrophic event. Thank you to United Way of the Concho Valley, Concho Valley Community Action Agency, the San Angelo Area Foundation, and many others for your incredible support and coordination. Deep gratitude as well to Tom Green County Judge Lane Carter, San Angelo Mayor Tom Thompson, Police Chief Travis Griffith, Sheriff Nick Hanna, and all of our community leaders and first responders. Your tireless efforts over the past several days have made a tremendous difference, and we are grateful for your leadership and dedication to our community. We have a long road to recovery, but we’ll get there together. #txlege

@DrewDarbyTX has worked in energy for half a century. Cut his teeth during the oil crisis of the 70's, immediately followed by the oil bust in the 80's. He's seen it all. He understands energy and has a vision for pragmatic energy leaderhsip in Texas. douglewin.com/p/solutions-ov…

Nurse practitioners shouldn't need a medical doctor as a sponsor. It costs too much for affordable rural healthcare, argued @DrewDarbyTX. Details with video: sanangelolive.com/news/health/20…

🚨 ACTION ALERT 🚨 The Texas House must vote YES on HB 1716 to expand the behavioral health workforce! ✅ HB 1716 (Rep. Darby) / SB 469 (Sen. Sparks) would allow master’s-level behavioral health associates to be reimbursed by Medicaid while completing clinical hours — a game-changer for growing and sustaining our mental health workforce. This bill supports vital training partnerships at community health centers and helps meet the urgent statewide need for mental health providers. 🗓 Scheduled for a House floor vote TOMORROW Wednesday, April 23 📞 TAKE ACTION: Contact your State Representative and urge a YES vote on HB 1716! shorturl.at/mYIxX 🧠 Stronger workforce = Stronger care. #txlege #HB1716 #BehavioralHealth #MentalHealthMatters #SupportTXHealthCenters #CommunityHealth #txlege @DrewDarbyTX @kevinsparkstx

"To me, this is about life and death...This is a patient-centered, access-driven bill..." - Rep. @DrewDarbyTX presenting #HB3794 to the Texas House Public Committee. The bill unlocks the full potential of APRNs to improve access to healthcare to more Texans. #txlege

Earlier this week, TXOGA President @Todd_Staples was joined at our Association’s annual spring board luncheon by Chairman @DrewDarbyTX for a fireside chat, where they discussed important industry issues concerning mineral rights, produced water, orphaned and inactive wells, agency funding, and oilfield theft. Thank you for your leadership Chairman Darby! Texas oil and natural gas directly employs almost 500,000 Texans and represents over 30% of the private sector Gross State Product. #txlege #txenergy

I think water infrastructure matters and we should be taking care of it, and could never say it better than Chairman @DrewDarbyTX does here. If we truly value our water then we should be protecting it to keep it in the pipes. The 811 system works, we know this …. Saying things are too hard is not responsible or an excuse not to pursue meaningful policy. #txlege #txwater #811 #damageprevention #HB1335
