Hopson said he would work closely with all other members to ensure that policies important to the district are adopted in Austin.
“I am eager to address the issues affecting families in my district,” Hopson said. “I’m in Austin to serve as the voice of my constituents and I’m committed to that calling. Rest assured that the interests of Panola, Rusk, Cherokee and Houston Counties will be heard in the Capitol this session.”
The Texas Legislature will stay in session for 140 days between January and May. This is the 80th session since Texas entered the Union in 1845.
