During Texas's legislative session, which runs until June 2, 2025, lawmakers file thousands of bills addressing a variety of issues, including property taxes and school security. Yet, the majority of these proposals do not advance to become law, highlighting the competitive nature of the legislative process. The Houston Chronicle's politics team is dedicated to identifying and tracking the most consequential legislation this session. Their tracker utilizes a color-coded system to reflect each bill's progression: yellow for in progress, green for passed, red for failed, and gray for merged. Utilizing LegiScan, a real-time legislative tracking service, the Chronicle ensures that bill information is updated daily and accurately reflects legislative movements.

Additionally, advanced AI technology categorizes bills based on definitions provided by reporters, enhancing the depth of information available to the public. This initiative fosters greater transparency and provides citizens with a clearer understanding of legislative developments. By following this tracker, the public can stay informed about which bills might impact their lives and communities significantly.
