Governmental Affairs Department

What We Do

Governmental Affairs works with agency divisions and departments to ensure that all relevant legislation passed by the Texas Legislature is implemented in a timely fashion, and coordinates with legislative committees to assist in supplying departmental statistics and resource information for committee members. This section also assists in the coordination of special projects and in the response to inquiries about the TDCJ from legislative and executive offices.
