Hall appointed to Border Security Joint Interim Committee

Submitted by Canton1 on

Sen. Bob Hall has been named to the Joint Interim Committee to Study Border Security by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick. 

The committee, created by House Bill 11 during the recent 84th Legislative Session, will monitor the Department of Public Safety border surge, and the newly budgeted $800 million appropriated to further secure the Texas-Mexico border. 

Hall was one of five senators named to this committee. 

"This last session, we provided a historic level of funding and resources to our border security efforts," Patrick. "These five senators have the insight needed to support the needs of our law enforcement officials along the border.”

The Joint Interim Committee to Study Border Security will assist with the management and implementation of resources that will help to secure our Texas-Mexico border.  After the federal government's failure to properly secure the border, Texas has taken a large step to stop criminal activity from crossing into our state.
