	CNN.com - Texas House paralyzed by Democratic walkout - May. 19, 2003
		With action in the Texas House brought to a standstill, roughly 50 state Democratic representatives said they would remain in neighboring Oklahoma "as long as it takes" to block a Republican-drawn redistricting plan that could cost them five seats in Congress.
		Under House rules, the reapportionment plan would have to be brought to a vote by Thursday in order to pass.
		Political observers say the redistricting plan before the House could mean a shift of up to five seats to the Republicans, giving them a 20-12 edge over Democrats in the Texas congressional delegation and better odds of keeping control of Congress.

	The Austin Chronicle News: The Class of 1985: The Texas House of Representatives, 69th Legislature, cast a long shadow
		But it is the Texas House and the people who come out of that House who run the state and – in DeLay's case – the country.
		In the House – as a recent member described the process – you can pair with someone to pass a bill in the morning, spend the afternoon trying to stake that same person out over an anthill, and then that evening go drinking with the same colleague.
		The West Texas House delegation has always hung together, Laney says, because they've always known that otherwise they'd hang separately: Without unity, West Texas' rural/small-town needs would be pushed aside by the unquenchable urban demands of Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston.

	News Release 2/2004: Project to document Texas House Speakers initiated by Center for American History
		The speaker of the Texas House, along with the governor and the lieutenant governor, ranks among the three most powerful officeholders in Texas politics, yet speakers in the Texas House have enjoyed relatively limited visibility, according to Cox.
		Speakers rose and fell with the rising fortunes of conservative and liberal factions within the Texas Democratic Party and with the ascendancy of the state Republican Party, culminating in the GOP’s eventual capture of the state government in the 2000 elections.
		Cox is the author of “Ralph W. Yarborough, the People’s Senator” (University of Texas Press, 2001), is co-editor of “Profiles in Power: Twentieth Century Texans in Washington, D.C.” (University of Texas Press, Spring 2004), and serves as the coordinator of the CAH Institute for News Media History.

		"Fortunately, the Texas Senate, which has already shown they are going to review this legislation with a more deliberate and fair-minded approach still has the chance to protect and preserve critical consumer rights," concluded Lambe.
