The LSG was founded in 1993 to promote forward-thinking, progressive solutions to the problems facing Texas. What started as a group of legislators coordinating information and floor strategy evolved into an invaluable, nonpartisan legislative research service with a full-time research staff providing daily floor reports with analysis on each bill that the House Calendars Committee sets for floor consideration.
