About this office
Understand the responsibilities, authority, and limits of the office in this contest.
What the Texas lieutenant governor does
The lieutenant governor is elected statewide and serves as president of the Texas Senate, where the office has major procedural and committee-assignment responsibilities.
Shared authority: The lieutenant governor does not enact laws alone. Senate members, the House, the governor, committees, agencies, and courts all hold distinct authority.
How FactVote presents the public record: FactVote separates the officeholder's own recorded Senate votes, procedural actions, and direct official statements. It does not attribute every Senate outcome to the presiding officer.
