The Texas House of Representatives acts as the lower house of the state's legislature, with 150 members elected to two-year terms. Based in Austin, the body operates on a biennial cycle, conducting regular sessions of roughly five months that begin in January and can extend up to 140 days. Each regular session starts with the election of a Speaker to serve as the presiding officer. Eligibility requirements for members include U.S. citizenship, being a qualified Texas elector, and being at least 21 years old, with residency in the state for two years and in the district for one year before the election. The chamber's work centers on considering and enacting legislation on behalf of Texas residents, with the Governor authorized to convene up to 30-day special sessions when necessary. The office maintains a staff of several hundred to support legislative activities from its Austin location.
