89th Texas Legislative Session
2025 (89th) Texas Legislature Bill Tracker
Since the 2013 session, the Center has hosted a legislative bill tracker that identifies proposed bills related to child and adolescent health and to research taking place at the Center and the expertise of our faculty.
The 2025 legislative tracker is segmented into seven general categories and 18 subcategories. Each legislative biennium, Center students and staff identify related bills as new bills are filed and the status of each bill as the session progresses. Each category of the legislative tracker is accompanied by relevant resources.
If there are any bills not included on this list that you feel the Center should be following, please feel free to let us know by contacting Tiffni Menendez
