AUSTIN (1080 KRLD) - Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick's office released the following statement regarding the postponing of upcoming State Senate Committee hearings:
“Lt. Gov. Patrick consulted with committee chairman over the weekend and decided to postpone upcoming committee hearings for the next few weeks. Public testimony is important -- we want to hear the voice of every Texan and make sure they are comfortable traveling to committee hearings. There is adequate time in the interim for the committees to complete their work. Lt. Gov. Patrick believes this step is the prudent thing to do at this time as Texas continues ongoing efforts to contain and mitigate the impact of COVID-19.”
