| Recordings and broadcasts of floor and committee proceedings
All floor proceedings of the senate and the house of representatives and all on-site committee proceedings, both during the legislative session and during the interim, are broadcast live online and on cable television. Video and audio broadcasts of house and senate floor and committee proceedings are archived and remain accessible through each chamber’s website for several years. The house of representatives’ website and the senate’s website provide public access to their respective broadcasts.
Audio recordings of senate floor debate and committee hearings from the last three legislative sessions are available from Senate Staff Services, and audio recordings from earlier legislative sessions, from the 62nd Legislature, 4th Called Session (1972) to the 77th Legislature (2001), are available from the Reference/Documents Collection of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. Copies of video recordings can be requested through a senator’s office. Audio recordings of house floor proceedings and public hearings held by house committees since 1973 are available from House Video/Audio Services.
