H.R. No. 1402 is a resolution commending the inaugural cohort of The University of Texas System Texas Legislative Fellowship Program for their exemplary service during the 89th Legislative Session. Established by the UT System Board of Regents in 2024, the program aims to promote civic engagement and public service among students through full-time internships in various legislative offices. The first cohort, consisting of 40 students from across the UT System, has made significant contributions to the Texas Legislature and state government, gaining valuable experience in policymaking, legislative research, and constituent services.
The resolution recognizes the dedication and professionalism demonstrated by these students, who represent all nine academic institutions within the UT System, including The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. By performing their duties with skill, they have laid a strong foundation for future participants in the program. The Texas House of Representatives extends its best wishes for their continued success as they prepare to become future leaders of Texas and expresses high regard for the program and its participants through the adoption of this resolution.
