Setting Up A Texas Legislature Online Account to Monitor Legislation

First create an account. You’ll get an automated email with the activation code you’ll need to verify your account and log in.

Once you’re logged in, it’s really simple:

Bill Lists
Create a list of bills that you would like to watch. Each time you run the list, the bill information is updated.

Alerts
Enter bills on the alert list, be notified of committee and calendar postings, be notified when bills are assigned subjects of interest, be notified when the house or senate ajourn.

Saved Searches
Access your saved bill, text, and amendment searches.

Mobile Device Support
Learn how to access meeting notices, member information, committee information, and bill status on mobile devices.

With each function you have to enter the bill number of the legislation you want to track, so it’s a good idea to have those bills identified beforehand. This page is a good source for that information, or of course look up on the TLO itself.
